True positives and false positives for several T_is. If the groups G_j of a clique describe several T_i, the size of the consensus is determined by the aggregate of the true positives (black dots) from each T_i, as well as the false positives (red squares) from the remaining T_js. The green area shows the cut-offs that create a consensus that accurately distinguishes one subset of s from the rest. It is exactly this range where the perfect or zero ranges of all T_i overlap. Furthermore, the aggregate number of true positives (denoted by the uppermost black dots) stays constant in this range
