Genetic epidemiology

the probability that a statistically significant association is actually false, given its prior probability, the study's power and the significance level.

In genetic epidemiology, false positive report probability refers to the probability that a statistically significant association is actually false, given its prior probability, the study's power and the significance level. This meaning comes from Wacholder (2004) in JNCI: Journal of the National Cancer Institute.[1]
