We also tested whether the frequencies of the last digit of a sample of 610 test statistics deviated from a uniform distribution (i.e., equally probable digits).
For each of the four types of cancers that deviated from a uniform temporal distribution, the parameter estimates were adjusted by gender, age and region.
With twice as many markers than in our first investigation [ 31] it was clear that the number of markers per LG did not deviate significantly from a uniform distribution over the 12 linkage groups (P = 0.65).
The graph shows DOA (or Angle) in degrees vs. ITD (or Delay) in number of samples and how it deviates severely from a uniform relation in the areas near the sides of the 1D array.
Using Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, the gene distribution deviated significantly from a uniform distribution for nine (P ≤ 0.01) or ten (P ≤ 0.05) of the 12 spruce chromosomes (Table 1).
As a consequence, this model may be employed as long as (i) the period is taken such that a small number of encounters between and, and, is recorded and (ii) the encounters do not deviate too much from a uniform distribution.
However, measuring the correlation coefficient of PEM scores is a very rigorous test of congruence, because it not only requires that two datasets being compared identify the same sets of genes as being over- or under-expressed in the tissue, but also that the genes deviate from uniform expression to a similar degree.
Conversely, large-effect susceptibility loci are expected to deviate from the uniform distribution at the highly significant end of the distribution.
The counts of the last digit of P values also significantly deviate from the uniform distribution (Kolmogorov-Smirnov Z = 1.4, P = 0.043), and 0, 4, and 9 are less common than expected (see Fig. 2 and Additional file 2).
