[BioC] B statistic in limmaGUI

[Elizabeth Brooke-Powell]

Hi Sean,

Does +ve mean better then average odds that it is differentially expressed
and therefore does the more -ve mean that the odds are greater that it is
not differentially expressed? Is there some meaning that the lowest B values
tend to be about -6?

Liz

Liz,

B is a lod (logarithm of the odds), so even odds (1:1) are given a 
value of 0.  Better than average is positive and worse is negative.
