The bicluster model experiment on the synthetic datasets. (A) The relevance score of bicluster methods on synthetic gene expression data [7] with different noise level; (B) The relevance score of bicluster methods on synthetic gene expression data [7] of the different number of biclusters; (C) The relevance score of bicluster methods on synthetic spectroscopic data 1 (Fig. 2) with different noise level; (D) The average relevance score of bicluster methods on synthetic spectroscopic data 1 (Fig. 2) the different number of biclusters. The methods: NMF (red circle), PCA (blue circle), Sparse NMF(green circle), BiMax(red triangle), Plaid(green triangle), Spectral(yellow triangle), Xmotifs(blue triangle), Fabia(magenta triangle) and ISA(cyan triangle.
