Extended Data Fig. 1: 2D visualization of Q estimates using multidimensional scaling (MDS)

Algorithms appearing closer in the MDS projection have more similar estimates than those farther away. In order to use MDS, a distance matrix of the Q results of different algorithms (including the ground truth matrix) has been computed by using the Frobenius norm between the different Q matrices. The average of the normalized distances has been taken across all datasets in order to retrieve a single distance matrix.
