The figure below plots the standard deviation of the transformed data, across samples, against the mean, using the shifted logarithm transformation, the regularized log transformation, and the variance stabilizing transformation. a) The shifted logarithm has elevated standard deviation in the lower count range, and the regularized log to a lesser extent b) In the variance stabilized data the standard deviation is roughly constant along with the whole dynamic range.
