Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

comp.ebayes returns a function of one argument with bindings for L and proportion. This function accepts a microarray data matrix as its single argument, when evaluated, computes lod-odds (B statistics) and moderated t statistics of differential expression by empirical Bayes shrinkage of the standard error toward a common value.

1	comp.ebayes(L = NULL, proportion = 0.01)

`L`	A vector of integers corresponding to observation (column) class labels. For k classes, the labels must be integers between 0 and k-1.
`proportion`	A numeric variable specifying the proportion of differential expression.

The function returned by comp.ebayes calculates B statistics and moderated t statistics for each row of the microarray data matrix, with bindings for L and proportion. It interfaces to a C function.

comp.ebayes returns a function (F) with the bindings for L and proportion . The function F when supplied with a microarray data matrix and evaluated will return a matrix of two columns:

`t`	Moderated t statistics
`B`	B statistics (log-odds) of differential expression
