From: How to decide which are the most pertinent overly-represented features during gene set enrichment analysis

Figure 5

Pertinence depends on query elements. Only a small fraction of all the target sets may be pertinent for a given query: (a) sets that have no elements in common with the query are not pertinent. (b) large sets (much bigger than the query) having elements in common with the query are not pertinent because they contain too much differing elements. (c) small target sets that have elements in common with the query may be pertinent.
