Figure 1. Schematic representation of factorization in NMF method.

Figure 1

NMF decomposes matrix Inline graphic into Inline graphic and Inline graphic. The columns Inline graphic of matrix Inline graphic are called metagenes and the entry Inline graphic of matrix Inline graphic is the coefficient of transcript Inline graphic in metagene Inline graphic (Inline graphic). The entry Inline graphic of matrix Inline graphic represents the expression level of metagene Inline graphic in sample Inline graphic (Inline graphic).
