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:

  • Inference of our false-positive prediction and false-negative verification rates (based on our ability to identify known miRNAs and detect the expression of highly conserved, and thus presumed genuine, novel miRNAs) leads us to estimate that drosophilid genomes contain around 110 miRNA genes, or nearly 1% of the number of predicted protein-coding genes.

  • Unlike GC content, the problem is clearly resolved by word counting with a threshold value of t = 0, and with statistical rigor, because false-positive and false-negative rates for a set of comparisons are readily computed from cumulative distributions of dissimilarity between two training sets.

  • False-positive 'hits' and missed false-negative identifications of nuclei were counted.

  • The false-positive rate is denoted α and false-negative rate β.

  • Similarly, we define the false-negative rate ( FN ) as the number of false negatives among the nonsignificant genes divided by the total number of genes, the true-positive rate ( TP ) as the number of true positives divided by the total number of genes, and, the true-negative rate ( TN ) as the number of true negatives divided by the total number of genes.
