A method with flexible and balanced control of false negatives and false positives for hit selection in RNA interference high-throughput screening assays: A statistical terminology

摘要

Zhang suggests a new method that is flexible and controls the balance between false negatives and false positives for hit selection in RNA high-throughput screening assays. The author shows that the same decision rules and balances can be expressed by familiar statistical terms such as type I error and power and hence connects the new method to known statistical tools.
