I am using the topTableF to view the outputs of my ANOVA on microarray data where I have 4 data sets:

wild-type/conditionA
wild-type/conditionB
mutant/conditionA
mutant/conditionB

I am able to generate the appropriate contrasts matrix; and believe I am getting the right output.  However, I do not understand what the output is of the topTableF command.  If I use the normal topTable, where I specify a coefficient, then I see the typical column headers: B, adj P-value, P-value, etc.  But, when I look at all the coefficients, I see the F-statistic, P-value, and adjust P-value, and then under each comparison I make there is a number.  What is this statistic?

I hope I am being clear, and would appreciate any help.  Keep in mind, I am new to R and Limma, so please be specific.

Thank you,
Manny Otero
