Construction of surprisal scores from gene expression data. For each cell, we compare the gene’s expression in a local neighborhood of the cell to the gene’s global expression using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. The resulting p -values are negative log-transformed to give the “surprisal” of the observed over- or under-expression, and given a positive sign for over-expression and a negative sign for under-expression.
