Table 4. Different types of parameters used by the biclustering methods.

Parameter	Parameter specification
	the number of generated biclusters either per iteration or globally
	the threshold for biclustering optimization criteria
	the threshold for the number of iterations
	the probability of including/excluding a gene or a sample during the clustering process
	the threshold for the size of the biclusters
	the threshold for the number of gene (or respectively sample) operations in one iteration
	the number of genes and/or samples in the initial bicluster seeds)
	the overlap threshold for the obtained biclusters
	model-based parameters, e.g., parameters for prior distributions, or tree depth

The operations allowed when defining parameter are comparisons, additions, removals, and splits for genes (or respectively samples).
