lmscFit: Fit Linear Model to Individual Channels of Two-Color Data

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

Description

Fit a linear model to the individual log-intensities for each gene given a series of two-color arrays

Usage

1
lmscFit(object, design, correlation)

Arguments

object

an MAList object or a list from which M and A values may be extracted

design

a numeric matrix containing the design matrix for linear model in terms of the individual channels. The number of rows should be twice the number of arrays. The number of columns will determine the number of coefficients estimated for each gene.

correlation

numeric value giving the intra-spot correlation

Details

For two color arrays, the channels measured on the same set of arrays are correlated. The M and A however are uncorrelated for each gene. This function fits a linear model to the set of M and A-values for each gene after re-scaling the M and A-values to have equal variances. The input correlation determines the scaling required. The input correlation is usually estimated using intraspotCorrelation before using lmscFit.

Missing values in M or A are not allowed.

Value

An object of class MArrayLM
