Example sentences for: positives

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

  • 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.

  • Those not supporting recombination would be counted as false positives.

  • For the purposes of presenting our data here we report results at three different thresholds, which would, by the Bonferroni criteria, yield on average about 13, 0.13, or 0.013 experiment-wide false positives under the assumptions of our tests (that is, p -values of 0.001, 10 -5and 10 -6, respectively).

  • Therefore, for genes expressed at lower levels, it might be reasonable to use a more restrictive p-value, none of the false positives had a p-value less than 0.001.

  • Usually, the cut-off selection procedure is an informed decision based on the motivation of the individual to accept false positives (high Sp) or false negatives (high Se) that takes into account whether it is crucial to exclude any false positives (high Sp) or to cover the broadest signal range possible (high Se).
