Figure 4. Comparison of an autoregressive higher-order HMM to related existing methods.

Figure 4

Comparison of the AR(Inline graphic)-HMM(Inline graphic) and related methods with respect to the identification of overexpressed genes with at least three-fold increased copy numbers based on breast cancer data from [3]. The performance of each method is quantified by a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve displaying the true positive rate (TPR) reached at different levels of false positive rates (FPR). The AR(Inline graphic)-HMM(Inline graphic) with a fourth-order autoregressive emission process and a second-order state-transition process reaches the best performance (red).
