Is your fold change normally distributed? what do you need the sd for?
- Yann Abraham
The question is whether you can calculate standard deviation for fold change values if the groups you compare are not matched.

So you are considering the ratio of values derived from 2 unmatched populations, like testing 2 populations with different treatments? In that case I would use an ANOVA rather than working with the ratio... or did I miss something?
- Yann Abraham
One group of controls and one group of diseased patients.
