breast cancer, B = lung cancer • Welch’s t test for finding expression difference between breast and lung cancer • unequal variance in two type, Behrens–Fisher problem. • type of samples(#) used • A: T(5), B: T(16), C: not Normal(229) • Negative test • do t test on normal type of samples of both cancer types. • type of samples(#) used: • A: TN (N excluded)(5), B: NT(16), C: Normal(16) • if the expression difference is significant, then we should question whether they are all “normal” samples.
