contrastsFitM: Compute Contrasts from Linear Model Fit

Description

Given a linear model fit to microarray data, compute estimated coefficients and standard errors for a given set of contrasts. This function was adapted from contrasts.fit of the limma package.

Usage

contrastsFitM(fit, contrasts)

Arguments

fit

an MArrayLM object or a list object produced by the function lm.series or equivalent.

contrasts

numeric matrix with row corresponding to coefficients in fit and columns containing contrasts. May be a vector if there is only one contrast.

Value

The result of this function is an object of class MArrayLM.
