Table 1 Performance of GSEA and SAM-GS on Test 1. Proportions of randomly generated null gene sets that are identified by each method to be associated with the phenotype (p-value ≤ 0.05) in a mouse-microarray study.

From: Improving gene set analysis of microarray data by SAM-GS

Correlation range from which gene-set members were selected (% of individual genes in the range) [% of individual genes in the range with FDR ≤ 0.01]
