The formula to convert Fold Change to Percentage Change is:
\[ \text{Percentage Change} = (\text{Fold Change} - 1) \times 100 \]
Where:
Fold change is a measure used to describe the change in a value over time. It is often used in fields such as genomics, proteomics, and finance to compare the change in parameters or values such as gene expression levels or investment returns. A fold change greater than 1 indicates an increase, while a fold change less than 1 indicates a decrease.
Let's assume the following:
Step 1: Calculate the percentage change:
\[ \text{Percentage Change} = (1.5 - 1) \times 100 = 0.5 \times 100 = 50\% \]
Therefore, the percentage change is 50%.
