Hello, everyone: I have a question related to conceptual understanding of lmFit. I have the following experiment that I want to conduct, but I am not sure which is the right way to use design matrix and contrasts. Here is the experiment: say I have 3 different strains that are genetically different, A, B and C where A is the control. I also have two different treatments, T1 and T2. For each strain, I have 4 arrays for each treatment, so in total, I have 24 arrays. What I want to find out is the significantly differentially expressed genes for the following comparison: 1) for control strain A: T1 vs T2 2) under T1, B vs. A (control) 3) under T1, C vs. A 4) for B, T1 vs T2 5) for C, T1 vs T2 6) interaction term of A and B , T1 and T2 7) interaction term of A and C, T1 and T2. There are two ways I could use lmFit One is: for the design matrix, I will include all 3 strains and 2 conditions, I use the following code: A_T1, A_T2, B_T1, B_T2, C_T1, C_T2 sample1: 1 ,0 ,0, 0, 0 , 0 sample2 : Then make a contrast matrix and follow the code below: fitGene<-lmFit(gene,design=design,weights=arrayWt); fitGene2<-contrasts.fit(fitGene,cont.matrix) fitGene2<-eBayes(fitGene2,proportion=p); Two: Instead of using all samples at one time to fit into a lmFit function, I use two design matrix only involves A and B, T1 and T2, and second design matrix that involves A and C, T1 and T2, and make contrast matrix and fit separately. and later on I can compare these two results if I want to. The question I have is: which one is the right one? For the first method, I will have large DOF , and much lower p-values, but it was testing the same thing as the second one, so am I creating an artifact? Thanks for your help!

Hi Sabrina, First, a little list ettiquette. If you don't get a response to a post within a day, it's not considered polite to just repost the same question verbatim the next day under a different Subject. Second: your question isn't specific to the modeling of lmFit. Instead, it's a general statistical question about why it's better to one ANOVA model instead of a series of t-tests. I suggest you consult a basic statistical textbook or a local statistician to find the answer.

Hi, Jenny: Thanks for the quick reply. And thanks for pointing out about posting. I thought maybe my subject was not good enough to be noticed and that is why I posted again. This is my first post, so long way to go! Regarding your second point: I don't think my question is a general one about why ANOVA is better than a series of t-tests. I actually did both, but realized that the result from one single model ( use all samples) gave me much lower p-values, but when I looked at the expression value, the fold change was nothing , like 0.5. That is why I wonder if the inflated DOF gave me much low p-values. Any thoughts on that? Thanks!

Dear Sabrina, Experienced members of the group will have better things to say but here is my $0.25. As a statistician - I would prefer Design 1. The reason is - that data should never be ignored. Also, more the data, Limma can take more advantage of this information in the Empirical Bayesian Estimation of S.D. Lower p-values are because of this fact. (Taking less data might result in inflated SDs which can also result in lower p-values.) Comparing Differential expression and Fold Change is like comparing Apple and oranges. Differential expression has nothing to do with low fold change. As a statistician, I would always trust differential expression than Fold-Change. If you think that fold-change is important for you then you should select the differentially expressed genes ONLY if their log fold-change is above say 2. you can do this in limma using topTable and/or decideTests. Pls correct me if I am wrong. Thx S. On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 1:32 PM, sabrina s <sabrina.shao@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, Jenny: > Thanks for the quick reply. And thanks for pointing out about posting.

Dear Sunny: Thanks for your input. personally I prefer combine p-value and fc together because you can not validate all genes detected, but pick some with higher FC will probably feasible to do.

Dear Christos, Thanks for pointing out this research paper! This is interesting! I am wondering if non-specific filtering based on variances is a good way to reduce the number of genes (probes) in this case? Lets say - we exclude the genes above a particular variance cutoff (for eg: >90 percentile) Thx S.

I don't think that removing the high variance genes will improve the power to detect differentially expressed genes. Removing the low variance genes might though, as such genes would be less likely to exhibit large between groups sum of squares that would be associated with differential expression. -Christos From: Sunny Srivastava [mailto:research.baba@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 11:18 PM To: christos.hatzis@nuverabio.com Cc: sabrina s; bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: Re: [BioC] question about lmFit model Dear Christos, Thanks for pointing out this research paper!
