calculateTtest: Calculate differential expression between conditions using...

In puma: Propagating Uncertainty in Microarray Analysis(including Affymetrix tranditional 3' arrays and exon arrays and Human Transcriptome Array 2.0)

Description

Automatically creates design and contrast matrices if not specified. This function is useful for comparing T-test results with those of other differential expression (DE) methods such as pumaDE.

Usage

calculateTtest(
	eset
,	design.matrix = createDesignMatrix(eset)
,	contrast.matrix = createContrastMatrix(eset)
)

Arguments

eset	An object of class ExpressionSet
design.matrix	A design matrix
contrast.matrix	A contrast matrix

Details

The eset argument must be supplied, and must be a valid ExpressionSet object. Design and contrast matrices can be supplied, but if not, default matrices will be used. These should usually be sufficient for most analyses.

Value

An object of class DEResult.

Examples

#	eset_test <- new("ExpressionSet", exprs=matrix(rnorm(400,8,2),100,4))
#	pData(eset_test) <- data.frame("class"=c("A", "A", "B", "B"))
#	TtestRes <- calculateTtest(eset_test)
#	plotErrorBars(eset_test, topGenes(TtestRes))
