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

For given desired power, controlled false discovery rate, and user-specified proportions of non-differentially expressed genes, ssize.twoSampVaryDelta calculates appropriate sample sizes for two-sample microarray experiments in which the differences between mean treatment expression levels (delta.g for gene g) vary among genes. A plot of power versus sample size is generated.

ssize.twoSampVaryDelta(deltaMean, deltaSE, sigma, fdr = 0.05,
  power = 0.8, pi0 = 0.95, maxN = 35, side = "two-sided",
  cex.title = 1.15, cex.legend = 1)

`deltaMean`	location (mean) parameter of normal distribution followed by each delta.g.
`deltaSE`	scale (standard deviation) parameter of normal distribution followed by each delta.g.
`sigma`	the common standard deviation of expressions for all genes.
`fdr`	the false discovery rate to be controlled.
`power`	the desired power to be achieved.
`pi0`	a vector (or scalar) of proportions of non-differentially expressed genes.
`maxN`	the maximum sample size used for power calculations.
`side`	options are "two-sided", "upper", or "lower".
`cex.title`	controls size of chart titles.
`cex.legend`	controls size of chart legend.

Each delta.g is assumed to follow a Normal distribution with mean deltaMean and standard deviation deltaSE. The standard deviations of expressions are assumed identical for all genes.

If a vector is input for pi0, sample size calculations are performed for each proportion.

`ssize`	sample sizes (for each treatment) at which desired power is first reached.
`power`	power calculations with corresponding sample sizes.
`crit.vals`	critical value calculations with corresponding sample sizes.
