Enrichment: Positive enrichment scores represent that the biological state induced by the signature are sought. Likewise, if reversal or repression of the biological state encoded in the query signature is required, the enrichment scores were negative.

p: The Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic is used for the significance analysis.

Specificity: Specificity measures the uniqueness of the connection between a perturbagen and the signature of interest. High values mean that many signatures show good connectivity with these instances. This may indicate that the connectivity is unexceptional.

The non-null percentage: The non-null percentage is defined as the percentage of all instances in a set of instances that share the majority non-null category of connectivity score. For example, if a perturbagen is represented by five instances, and three of those instances have a positive connectivity score, one instance has a null connectivity score and one instance has a negative connectivity score, the non-null percentage for that perturbagen in that result is 60%.
