  2. Scientific control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_control

    The simplest types of control are negative and positive controls, and both are found in many different types of experiments. [2] These two controls, when both are successful, are usually sufficient to eliminate most potential confounding variables: it means that the experiment produces a negative result when a negative result is expected, and a ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Negative_Controls

    A Negative control test can reject study design, but it cannot validate them. Either because there might be another confounding mechanism, or because of low statistical power. Negative controls are increasingly used in the epidemiology literature [3], but they show promise in social sciences fields [4] such as economics [5]. Negative controls ...

  4. False positives and false negatives - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_positives_and_false...

    The false positive rate (FPR) is the proportion of all negatives that still yield positive test outcomes, i.e., the conditional probability of a positive test result given an event that was not present. The false positive rate is equal to the significance level. The specificity of the test is equal to 1 minus the false positive rate.

  5. Z-factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-factor

    For example, if σ p =σ n =1, then μ p =6 and μ n =0 gives a zero Z-factor. But for normally-distributed data with these parameters, the probability that the positive control value would be less than the negative control value is less than 1 in 10 5. Extreme conservatism is used in high throughput screening due to the large number of tests ...

  6. Control coefficient (biochemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_coefficient...

    Control coefficients can have both negative and positive values. A negative value indicates that the observable in question decreases as a result of the change in enzyme activity. It is important to note that control coefficients are not fixed values but will change depending on the state of the pathway or organism. If an organism shifts to a ...

  7. Design of experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_experiments

    To control for nuisance variables, researchers institute control checks as additional measures. Investigators should ensure that uncontrolled influences (e.g., source credibility perception) do not skew the findings of the study. A manipulation check is one example of a control check. Manipulation checks allow investigators to isolate the chief ...

  8. Laboratory quality control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laboratory_quality_control

    An example of a Levey–Jennings chart with upper and lower limits of one and two times the standard deviation. A Levey–Jennings chart is a graph that quality control data is plotted on to give a visual indication whether a laboratory test is working well. The distance from the mean is measured in standard deviations.

  9. Strictly standardized mean difference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strictly_standardized_mean...

    In an RNAi HTS assay, a strong or moderate positive control is usually more instructive than a very or extremely strong positive control because the effectiveness of this control is more similar to the hits of interest. In addition, the positive controls in the two HTS experiments theoretically have different sizes of effects.
