[BioC] Questions of Significance Analysis of Microarrays(SAM){siggenes}

[Holger Schwender]

Hi,

in the latest version of siggenes, there is an argument var.equal for sam.
So please update your siggenes version, 

http://www.bioconductor.org/repository/release1.5/package/html/siggenes.html

and see ?sam (or more exactly ?sam.dstat) for this and other new arguments.
The version you have does a t-test assuming equal variances.

Best,
Holger
