gene expression experiments.

edesign |
matrix describing experimental design. Rows must be arrays and columns experiment descriptors |
degree |
the degree of the regression fit polynome. |
time.col |
column number in edesign containing time values. Default is first column |
repl.col |
column number in edesign containing coding for replicate arrays. Default is second column |
group.cols |
column numbers in edesign indicating the coding for each experimental group (treatment, tissue, ...). See details |
rownames of edesign object should contain the arrays naming (i.e. array1, array2, ...). colnames of edesign must contain the names of experiment descriptors(i.e. "Time", "Replicates", "Treatment A", "Treatment B", etc.). for each experimental group a different column must be present in edesign, coding with 1 and 0 whether each array belongs to that group or not.
make.design.matrix
returns a design matrix where rows represent arrays and column variables of time, dummies and their interactions for up to the degree
given.
Dummies show the relative effect of each experimental group related to the first one. Single dummies indicate the abcissa component of each group.
$Time*dummy$ variables indicate slope changes, $Time^2*dummy$ indicates curvature changes. Higher grade values could model complex responses.
In case experimental groups share a initial state (i.e. common time 0), no single dummies are modeled.
