Figure 2From: voom: precision weights unlock linear model analysis tools for RNA-seq read countsvoom mean-variance modeling. (a) Gene-wise square-root residual standard deviations are plotted against average log-count. (b) A functional relation between gene-wise means and variances is given by a robust LOWESS fit to the points. (c) The mean-variance trend enables each observation to map to a square-root standard deviation value using its fitted value for log-count. LOWESS, locally weighted regression.Back to article page
