NES, normalized enrichment score (accounts for differences in gene set size and in correlations between gene sets and the expression dataset to allow for comparisons across gene sets); NOM p-val, nominal p value (estimates the statistical significance of the enrichment score for a single gene set); FDR, false discovery rate (estimated probability that a gene set with a given NES represents a false positive finding); FWER, familywise-error rate (conservative correction that seeks to ensure that the list of reported results does not include even a single false-positive gene set).
