Area under the ROC curve for six methods and two datasets, one simulated and the other real experimental data from the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (PMCC)

Method	Simulated data	PMCC data
Ordinary t	0.9526	0.7852
Moderated t	0.9919	0.9723
Fold-change	0.9967	0.9819
Fold-change with moderated t cutoff	0.9963	0.9801
Moderated t with fold-change cutoff	0.9944	0.9761
TREAT	0.9970	0.9832

TREAT has the highest area under the ROC curve (values in bold) for both the simulated data and the data from the PMCC quality control experiment.
