16 anova.MAList-method<br />

Details<br />

Aliases are mapped via NCBI Entrez Gene identity numbers using <strong>Bioconductor</strong> organism packages.<br />

Species are "Dm" for fly, "Hs" for human, "Mm" for mouse and "Rn" for rat. The user needs to<br />

have the appropriate <strong>Bioconductor</strong> organism package installed.<br />

alias2Symbol maps a set of aliases to a set of symbols, without necessarily preserving order. The<br />

output vector may be longer or shorter than the original vector, because some aliases might not be<br />

found and some aliases may map to more than one symbol. alias2SymbolTable maps each alias<br />

to a gene symbol and returns a table with one row for each alias. If an alias maps to more than one<br />

symbol, then the first one found is returned.<br />

Value<br />

Character vector of gene symbols.<br />

alias2SymbolTable returns a vector of the same length and order as alias, including NA values<br />

where no gene symbol was found. alias2Symbol returns an unordered vector which may be longer<br />

or shorter than alias.<br />

anova.MAList-method<br />

ANOVA Table - method<br />

Description<br />

Analysis of variance method for objects of class MAList. Produces an ANOVA table useful for<br />

quality assessment by decomposing between and within gene sums of squares for a series of replicate<br />

arrays. This method produces a single ANOVA Table rather than one for each gene and is not<br />

used to identify differentially expressed genes.<br />

Usage<br />

anova(object,design=NULL,ndups=2,...)
