The lower the P-value, the higher is the 'non-randomness' of finding the intersection between the dataset and the particular ontology.
Another difficulty is that telling the story of the President's ancestors to explain how the President became the President is a teleological project, and a teleologist who embraces randomness is in some danger of finding himself unable to decide which details to include and which to leave out.
In MetaCore databases, p value means the probability of a random intersection of two gene sets, with low p values indicating a high potential of non-randomness of the finding.
The significance of the enrichment (p-value) was determined by hypergeometric distribution for the probability of finding a set of genes within a given GO term or pathway, in which lower p-value indicated higher potential of non-randomness of the finding.
This reflects the randomness of random path.
Don Davis writes about pitfalls in using mouse events for randomness; see also a followup from J. Gallegos on more pitfalls with finding randomness from mice.
We accept that the randomness of the world plays an important role in finding a spouse, significant other, and friends.
Lempel-Ziv complexity and grammar complexity are in the same taxonomic group of complexity measures (randomness finding, nonprobabilistic, model based).
Instead I am finding that the only thing I am certain of is the randomness of it all.
Because of the apparent randomness of the missing data, it is unlikely that such estimation techniques have skewed the findings.
To detect the randomness of expression values, if we use a faster hypothesis test for randomness than Newton Raphson, we can speed up the procedure for finding the three-way interaction.
