Numerical characterisations and biological relevance of the eight super-biclusters generated by BOA on the gastric cancer data. In the second column of the table, the numbers of biclusters that converged to a particular super-bicluster are given, while the third column is the number of identical biclusters converging to the prototype of that super-bicluster. The columns of "MCS", "Malignancy Score" and "GO" contain the p-values calculated with respect to the prototype of each super-bicluster in terms of the three statistics described in Section 2.3. Note that the negative sign, '-', in the Malignancy Score for SBC7 and SBC8 indicates the significance of agreement with the reverse order.
