Example sentences for: false-positive

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

We used a selection threshold giving a median estimate of 0.5 false-positive genes (false detection rate of 0.088%) for further analysis.
The negative controls, a set of probes that were the reverse complement of probes for 78,486 confirmed exons, indicated a 5% false-positive rate.
We have carried out a large number of analyses using a combination of qualitative and quantitative filters and consistently observe false-positive rates of less than 1.0% between well controlled independent duplicates using the default selection criteria [ 7, 12, 13].
This example demonstrates that an effective way to preserve a low false-positive rate while maintaining high sensitivity is to use a combination of both qualitative and quantitative filters.
We did not pre-filter for low-complexity regions, and 101 genes were left out of the test set because of missing UTR information, so the real false-positive rate is most likely to be lower.
