Example sentences for: false-negative

How can you use “false-negative” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • We use this property to establish experiment-wide false-positive and false-negative rates (Figure 2a).

  • For instance, considering the intersection (or union) of genes predicted by either method would minimize the false-positive (or false-negative) rates.

  • Optimal statistical power (minimal false-negative rate) is ensured when using a likelihood-ratio test statistic, as demonstrated by the Pearson-Neyman Theorem [ 28].

  • Conservation alone is an insufficient criterion for assessing the validity of a miRNA [ 46 ] . Indeed, one high-scoring candidate (number 78, 2L:13233310 that is strongly conserved in Anopheles and was identified by miRseeker appears to be an unannotated U2 snRNA [ 43 ] . Nevertheless, our high success rate (20/27) leads us to believe that failure to observe expression of a high-scoring, third-species-conserved miRseeker candidate could reflect a false-negative result.

  • Focusing on older L1 family members is likely to increase the rate of false-negative results.
