Controlling the Proportion of False Positives in Multiple Dependent Tests
Controlling the Proportion of False Positives in Multiple Dependent Tests is a scholarly work, published in 2004 in ''Genetics''. The main subjects of the publication include mathematics, computer science, Quantitative genetics, false positives and false negatives, microarray, type I and type II errors, biology, power of a test, False positive rate, statistics, real-time polymerase chain reaction, word error rate, multiple comparisons problem, statistical test, null hypothesis, sensitivity and specificity, false discovery rate, base rate fallacy, and correlation. The authors here present an approach based on controlling the proportion of false positives (PFP) among all positive test results.
