Figure 3. Transition from scatter to asymptotic emergent curves for the ranked groups.

Figure 3

Plot of set of mean values of gene deviations for p groups, Inline graphic versus Inline graphic (i = 1,..,12) for atRA and DMSO responses (see maintext and Methods). Inline graphic and Inline graphic represent mean values of gene deviations for atRA and DMSO respectively. As n is increased, the standard deviation of the ranked groups at ti, Inline graphic, decreases obeying the Inline graphic law (center panel, thick black line) where α≅0.3, for both atRA and DMSO, with a transition occurring around Inline graphic for (A) atRA and (B) DMSO. Each color represents each ti.
