Small scale time-course microarray experiments are those which have a small number of time points. They comprise about 80 percent of all time-course microarray experiments conducted up to 2005. Several statistical methods for the small scale time-course microarray experiments have been proposed. In this paper we applied three methods, namely, QR method, maSigPro method and STEM, to a real time-course microarray experiment which had six time points. We compared the performance of these three methods based on a simulation study and concluded that STEM outperformed, in general, in terms of power when the FDR was set to be 5%.
