Example sentences for: p-values

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

  • The presence of statistically significant signals at M/Z values less than 500 was unexpected as some investigators, in their systems, conservatively disregard data beneath M/Z values of 2000 as possible noise [ 12 ] . To further investigate this, we first repeated the calculation of 2-sided Wilcoxon test p-values at each of the 15,154 M/Z values using the entire data set (see Figure 2).

  • Using the selected gene sets from Table 3and the p-values and fold-change values calculated from the eight normal kidneys and nine CC, we looked for concordance between our results and published reports.

  • Based on the initial training set, the intensity at each of the consecutive 15,154 M/Z values was first compared using a two-sided Wilcoxon test (see methods) Figure 1shows the pattern of the resulting two-sided Wilcoxon test p-values generated on a training set consisting of 80 cancer patients and 45 controls randomly chosen from the larger data set, with the M/Z values on the x-axis and the negative logarithm (base 10) of the Wilcoxon test p-values on the y-axis.

  • Disease classifiers of great sensitivity and specificity could be readily constructed by visual inspection and manual binning of M/Z values based on the p-values of the Wilcoxon test combined with classical stepwise discriminant analysis.

  • As a result, the median scores for some of individual schools are variable, making the ordering inconsistent over testing occasions, which in turn, results in the extreme p-values from the Wilcoxon tests.
