Ilouga, P. E.; Hesterkamp. T. On the Prediction of Statistical Parameters in High-Throughput Screening Using Resampling Techniques. J. Biomol. Screen. 2012, 17, 705-712. (Original doi: 10.1177/1087057112441623)

In the July issue of the Journal of Biomolecular Screening, in the above-mentioned article, the authors would like to correct a typesetting error. In Table 1, “True positive” was mistakenly replaced with “True negative.” The right expression “True positive” corresponds to the table row labeled with “YES” and the table column labeled with “YES.” The corrected table appears below.

Table 1.

Decomposition of the Total Number of Compounds According to the Actual Activity and the Observed Activity

		Actually Active
		No	Yes	Total
Observed activity	No	True negative (n00)☺	False negative (n01)☹	n0. = n00 + n01
	Yes	False positive (n10)☹	True negative (n11)☺	n1. = n10 + n11
	Total	n.0 = n00 + n10	n.1 = n01 + n11	N = n00 + n10 + n01 + n11

After the primary screen, only n_0., n_1., and N are known. n₀₀, n₀₁, n₁₀, n₁₁, n_.0, and n_.1 are unknown.
