channel2M: Convert Individual Channel Design Matrix to M-A Format

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

Description

Convert a design matrix in terms of individual channels to ones in terms of M-values or A-values for two-color microarray data.

Usage

1
2
designI2M(design)
designI2A(design)

Arguments

design

numeric model matrix with one row for each channel observation, i.e., twice as many rows as arrays

Details

If design is a model matrix suitable for modelling individual log-intensities for two color microarray data, then designI2M computes the corresponding model matrix for modelling M-values (log-ratios) and designI2A computes the model matrix for modelling A-values (average log-intensities).

Note that the matrices designI2M(design) or designI2A(design) may be singular if not all of the coefficients are estimable from the M or A-values. In that case there will be columns containing entirely zeros.

Value

numeric model matrix with half as many rows as design
