Comparison of MSE for the direct estimation and for the Bayes approach based on ML estimation (A), together with true underlying parameters <i>b</i> and (B).

Points represent genes, and they are colored according to the comparison of the performance of the two approaches (orange: MSEs very small, blue: MSEs comparable, green: MSE smaller for Bayes approach, black: MSE smaller for direct approach). The underlying parameter values are colored in the same way.
