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

For instance, considering the intersection (or union) of genes predicted by either method would minimize the false-positive (or false-negative) rates.
NoSeCoLoR yields consistently smaller false-positive rates, although when large proportions of genes are affected and have large effect size, the rate of false positives with NoSeCoLoR is also larger than nominal.
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.
For all datasets, the naive method gives false-positive rates significantly greater than nominal, some as much as ten-fold higher than nominal.
The statistical exploration of different combinations of RI sets provides new degrees of freedom which may generate false-positive results, but which may also generate interesting hypotheses regarding QTL action.
