Example sentences for: hypergeometric

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

One reason for using the Poisson approximation is that it is much easier to work with this distribution than the hypergeometric when adjusting for space by day-of-week interaction (see below), as the sum of Poisson distributions is still a Poisson distribution.
The summation in prob p (i) computes the cumulative hypergeometric probability of pathway p containing c p (i) or more members of C i . prob p (i) assesses co-clustering of pathway members in the single cluster C i . sumprob(p), the sum of prob p (i) values over all clusters for which c p (i) >= 2, is a simple measure of co-clustering across the entire collection of available clusters.
The statistical enrichment of each cluster for genes that contained known transcription factor binding sites or different 6-mer sequences within 800 bp upstream of the ORF was assessed, according to the hypergeometric distribution.
To identify novel enriched promoter sequences, we calculated the hypergeometric distribution of all possible 6-mer sequences in the promoters of the genes clustered by fuzzy k-means clustering.
Genes were assigned to each cluster using an empirically chosen membership cutoff of 0.06 or 0.08, and the probability of observing the number of genes in each cluster that contained one or more copies of each transcription factor binding site was calculated, based on the hypergeometric distribution (see Materials and methods).
