[BioC] unbalanced factorial design

[Kenny Ye]

I am not sure about if bioconductor includes any functions for
mixed-effect models. there are several packages in R handles mixed-effect 
models, the most complete one is nlme. But SAS Proc MIXED probably is the
better way to go. 

in my opinion, slightly non-balancing does not affect your inference very
much. A good reference is Milliken and Johnson, Analysis of Messy Data,
Volumn I;
