Glossary Term
A family of discrete probability density functions, which models systems that meet the following requirements: 1) the number of trials (n) is fixed; 2) there are only two outcomes for each trial, success or failure; 3) the outcome of each trial is independent; and 4) all trials have the same probability (p) of success. Binomial distributions show the likelihood of the number of successful trials versus the total number of trials.
Glossary Term
Any of the 99 numbered points that divide an ordered set of scores into 100 parts each of which contains one-hundredth of the total.
Glossary Term
Refers to the total protein-encoding capability of an organism's genome. It is also used to refer to the actual total expressed protein complement of an organism or to the identifiable proteins of a single tissue or cell type or subcellular compartment.
Glossary Term
The standard deviations of the sample in a frequency distribution, obtained by dividing the standard deviation by the square root of the total number of cases in the frequency distribution.
Glossary Term
The relative rate of occurrence of a specific variant allele compared to the total number of alleles at that locus in the sample. This measurement may be reported as a ratio or percentage.
