[BioC] how to run SAM analysis

[M a r c e l]

hi!

if you want to run SAM anaylsis anyway, try the following (not sure if it 
works that way, but worth a try)

for example (RMA or gcRMA as you want, for gcRMA load the library gcRMA)

data.norm <- rma(data, normalize = TRUE, background = TRUE)

now construct the vector cl as needed by the SAM function:

cl <- c(0,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1)

or

cl <- rep(0:1, c(3,14))

with 0 being the normal tissues and 1 the diseased ones. (use pData(data) to 
see the correct order of your data)

and then:

data.sam <- sam(data.norm, cl)

don´t forget to filter the genes with the genefilter function ( 
genefilter(data,flist) ) in the genefilter library!

please everyone send me positive or negative answers, would appreciate if my 
instructions were correct or not. thanks!

cheers,
gregor

would suggest<br>&gt;you increase the sample size in the normal group. This 
holds no matter<br>&gt;what test statistics you plan on 
using.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;LIMMA would probably be better for your purposes. I 
_think_ it has been<br>&gt;shown empirically to hold for small sample 
sizes.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Regards, Adai<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;<br>&gt;On Wed,

&gt;<br>&gt; &gt; I have 17 affymetrix .cel files and ran RMA analysis on 
them. Now I want to run SAM analysis(unpaired, 3 normal tissues and 14 
diseased tissues)  on the RMA data with R2.1.1.<br>&gt; &gt; I have 
installed the samr package.<br>&gt; &gt;<br>&gt; &gt; Questions: How to run
