Proposed move

[edit]

Would anyone object to a move from SAM: Significance Analysis of Microarrays to simply Significance Analysis of Microarrays? - Eldereft ~(s)talk~ 16:56, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. - Eldereft ~(s)talk~ 10:24, 15 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Potential False Discovery Rate Formula Error

[edit]

The False Discovery rate is listed as: Median (90th Percentile) of # of falsely called genes/ Number of genes called significant. Just thought I should note that by definition the Median is the 50th Percentile (not the 90th). Thanks128.255.38.95 (talk) 18:48, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

SAM calculations unclear

[edit]

The images Samcalc.jpg and RandS.jpg are very low quality and quite hard to read, additionally whoever added it has not explained it properly. s is described as being computed as a percentile based on alpha but nowhere in the article is there any mention of this alpha. This section should be rewritten. I am currently researching this method and if no one has any objections will find the time to improve it. 128.40.94.87 (talk) 13:27, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the figure quality issues and much of the prose is poor also. I've cut some sections significantly but there is still much work to be done to improve this article Jebus989 14:12, 16 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Authorship

[edit]

Who the hell wrote this article? It reads like an advertisement. Hwfr (talk) 01:53, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
