Figure 4. Markov chain Monte Carlo diagnostics for gene-specific mean expression parameters; somitic mesoderm cells.

A: Geweke Z-score for mean expression parameters is plotted against mean expression estimates. Dashed lines represent absolute Z-scores of 3, outside of which we advise caution when interpreting results. B: Effective sample size (ESS) is plotted against mean expression estimates. A dashed line shows a threshold of 100, below which we advise caution when interpreting results.
