We no longer using the Z-score. It is replaced with the odds ratio.

This text should be replaced:

The should be the new text for this section:

The odds ratio is computed using this formula: oddsRatio = (1.0 a d) / Math.max(1.0 b c, 1) where: a- are the overlapping genes b- genes in the annotated set - overlapping genes c- genes in the input set - overlapping genes d- 20,000 genes (or total genes in the background) - genes in the annotated set - genes in the input set + overlapping genes

Hi, in the Enrichr API documentation, one of the values returned is Z-score, I am wondering if the API service can return odds ratio instead?

Hi, I have a closer look at the numbers, and it is Odds Ratio in the results, not Z-score. Hence the documentation need updating.
