The following list describes the columns found in Table 2.

  • Pathway.Name = Full pathway name of curated PARADIGM pathway

  • Avg.Num.Perturbations = Average number of samples with perturbations across the pathway concepts determined by a background permutation model (>2 standard deviations away from the permuted distribution)

  • Total.Perturbations = Total number of perturbed concepts across all samples (>2 standard deviations away from the permuted distribution)

  • Num.Entities = Number of concepts that belong to the pathway

  • Min.Mean.Truth = Minimum IPL for concepts in the pathway among real samples

  • Max.Mean.Truth = Maximum IPL for concepts in the pathway among real samples

  • Min.Mean.Within = Minimum IPL for concepts in the pathway among null samples using "within permutation" (values are permuted across genes)

  • Max.Mean.Within = Maximum IPL for concepts in the pathway among null samples using "within permutation" (values are permuted across genes)

  • Min.Mean.Any = Minimum IPL for concepts in the pathway among null samples using "any permutation" (values are permuted across samples and genes)

  • Max.Mean.Any = Maximum IPL for concepts in the pathway among null samples using "any permutation" (values are permuted across samples and genes).
