We analyzed the Hugene 1.0 ST Tissue Mixture Study (Affymetrix) for differential expression, using Student t-test, Regularized t-test, and Window t-test. Summarization tests were performed on probe concentrations computed with AffyILM. Comparison between heart (mix 1) and brain (mix 9) is assumed to provide the reference list of p-values. For each combination of summarization/analysis steps (rows), Pearson's correlation coefficient has been computed on log10(p-values) between the reference analysis and several comparisons of mixtures (columns). Underlined characters highlights the top 5 correlation coefficients for each column. Raw/Scaled labels respectively refers to summarization tests performed with/without a scaling step between arrays.
