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.
