Description

θ j

Cell-specific bias for cell j

λ is

Expected number of transcripts for gene i in subpopulation s

Ï• is

DE fold change for gene i in subpopulation s

λ i0

Baseline expectation for the number of transcripts

 

(i.e., without DE) for gene i

φ i

NB dispersion for gene i

Ï• s

DE fold change for all upregulated genes in subpopulation s

G

Number of unique DE genes in each subpopulation

p s

Proportion of DE genes that are upregulated in subpopulation s

  1. DE differentially expressed, NB negative binomial
