Hi, Ryan Thanks a lot for your comments! It is good to know that testing for a main effect using only the additive model may not be valid in the presence of an interaction effect, which I agree as I recall that from my statistics course. I did what you suggested and tested for the interaction effect in the interaction model as below. There are no sig diff genes in the end (no interaction effect). So I think now it is safe to apply the additive model. But what if there is an interaction effect? In that case, to test for ARpos vs. ARneg, I think the model should be y=b0 + b1*gender + b2*AR + b3*chip + b3*gender*AR , so the code would be: design <- model.matrix(~0+AR+gender+chip+AR*gender), right ?? In addition, I guess there is no difference in testing for the 2nd question Mpos vs. Fpos using the interaction model, right ?? Treat <- factor(paste(targets$gender,targets$AR,sep=".")) design <- model.matrix(~0+Treat+chip) cm <- makeContrasts((F.pos-M.pos)-(F.neg-M.neg),levels=design) Thanks, Xiayu -----Original Message----- From: Ryan C.

You can only test some weighted average of the gender-specific pos vs neg effects. The contrast you originally spcified was "(F.pos+M.pos-F.neg-M.neg)/2", which can be rewritten as "0.5 * (F.pos - F.neg) + 0.5 * (M.pos - M.neg)". This represents pos vs neg for a hypothetical 50% male, 50% female population, which isn't the same thing as a main effect, although it might happen to be similar. Note that "the interaction term has no significant genes for the interaction term" is not the same as "there is no interaction". It could be that there is an interaction in some genes, but your experiment is not powered to detect it. But I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with the details on how else you could test whether there is an interaction to worry about, other than relying on prior knowledge. Most studies don't go that far in justifying their choice of statistical model. -Ryan On Fri 08 Aug 2014 03:06:50 PM PDT, Rao,Xiayu wrote: > Hi, Ryan > > Thanks a lot for your comments!
