The number of false positives (FPs) and true positives (TPs) is for a given percentage of false positives out of the total number of positives (5%, 10% and 17% but percentages for each method are not exact due to P value granularity) and the corresponding P value cutoff for the MAS 5.0 present/absent calls. The calculations are based on a total of 60,624 true negatives (10,104 empty probesets in 6 replicates) and 23,436 true positives (3,906 probesets that can be aligned to transcripts in six replicates). The default P value cutoff is 0.060 for separating marginally present from absent transcripts.
