Comparisons of methods' computational performance and implementation quality. a Heatmap displaying the time taken for all methods to run across all 10 real datasets. Methods are ranked top to bottom in the heatmap by median time taken over datasets, largest at the top. Note that the color scale of the heatmap is a log scale. b Heatmap displaying the memory usage of all methods across all datasets. Methods are ranked top to bottom in the heatmap by median memory usage over datasets, largest at the top. c Time taken for all methods on simulated datasets with increasing numbers of total cells. Points are averages over 3 simulation replicates. All simulations had parameters estimated from the pbmc3k dataset and a location parameter for the DE factor of 3. d Assessment of the implementation quality of packages which implement methods for selecting marker genes based on 5 criteria
