Figure 9From: An optimization framework for unsupervised identification of rare copy number variation from SNP array dataIllustration of criteria for selection of candidate CNV regions. In this figure, the red lines tangent to the signal curve indicate the marker points that are elements of the sets Dmax and Dmin. (a) Q ij violates the first condition, which requires that the start and end markers be elements of Dmax and Dmin, respectively. (b) Q ij violates the second condition, which dictates that at least one marker must exceed the Tgain threshold value. (c) Q ij does not satisfy the third condition since three markers of Dmin appear before two markers of Dmax in region Q ij . (d) Q ij violates the fourth condition, which requires that Q ij is a maximal set satisfying all the first three conditions.Back to article page
