Viewing Data Plots

Expander provides two types of scatter plots visualizations that can be operated via Preprocessing>>Normalization>>View Scatter Plots.

Simple plot - Displays a scatter plot of two arrays (selected by the user), in which the ith point (xi,yi) represents the expression value (log expression for oligonucleotide data) of the i th gene in one array vs. the other. For normalized data, points should be located around the y=x line (marked on the scatter plot). 

M vs. A plot (available only for oligonucleotide data) - Displays a scatter plot in which each point (Ai,Mi) represents the log intensity difference of the i th probe in the two arrays (selected by the user) vs. the average log value of these intensities.
