Table 1. Quantities of interest in microarray experiments.
Genes for which there is not a real effect | Genes for which there is a real effect | |
Genes not declared significant at designated threshold | A | B |
Genes declared significant at designated threshold | C | D |
A+B+C+D = K = the number of genes analyzed in a microarray experiment. M = C+D is the number of rejected null hypotheses.
