Abstract
Shifting and scaling correlations are correspondent of biological significance in gene expression data analysis. Recent works have mentioned about the significance of negative correlation as well. In this paper, we distinguish and define the negative form of shifting and scaling correlations as negatively shifted correlation and negatively scaled correlation, respectively. Another issue in gene expression data analysis is simultaneous detection of both negative and positive correlation (shifting and scaling) over two disjoint subsets of features in a pair of gene expressions while most existing measures can detect only either of the correlations at a time. Here we propose a measure that can detect positive and negative forms of shifting and scaling correlation simultaneously between a pair of gene expressions over two disjoint subsets of features.
