  1. Permutation of the MAS5 data such that no true positives would be expected were carried out 1000 times. Results shown are the average fraction called significant by the Welch's t-test for selected p-values (0.05, 0.01 and 0.001). Results are for unfiltered data, probe sets called Absent for all samples (37% of the probe sets), and data filtered using fraction Present >0.
