Figure 3. NMF on full, descriptor-only, and odor-only shuffled versions of the data.

Figure 3

Inline graphic Peak behavior of histograms obtained from NMF performed on shuffled data, for each of the various shuffling conditions (see text for descriptions). Inline graphic Tail behavior of histograms, same procedure and conditions as in Inline graphic; note difference in scaling of axes between Inline graphic and Inline graphic. Inline graphic Waterfall plots of basis sets obtained when NMF was applied on shuffled data, for various shuffling conditions. Note the comparative lack of sparseness, relative to the basis set shown in Fig. 3A. Reproducibility of basis vectors across iterations of NMF for shuffled data sets was eliminated, or severely compromised, as shown in Fig. 4.
