Hello,
I find that some transcripts found by EBSeq have a problematic pattern
in the raw data, where only one sample has any counts. For example, in
a 3 vs. 3 scenario, these are some of the transcripts which have
posterior probability of D.E. = 1 :
Sample13 Sample14 Sample15 Sample16 Sample17
Sample18

The first 3 samples are in one condition, the last 3 are in the other
condition.
The values are expected counts from RSEM, which the journal article
says EBSeq works with. I'm a bit cautious about claiming the last 3
transcripts are D.E. Is there anything in EBSeq analogous to the new
EdgeR-Robust algorithm which can deal with these observations ?
