Extraction of Differential Gene Expression
Description
The edge package implements methods for carrying out differential
expression analyses of genome-wide gene expression studies. Significance testing
using the optimal discovery procedure and generalized likelihood ratio tests
(equivalent to F-tests and t-tests) are implemented for general study designs.
Special functions are available to facilitate the analysis of common study
designs, including time course experiments. Other packages such as snm, sva,
and qvalue are integrated in edge to provide a wide range of tools for gene
expression analysis.
