Hi Sally --
I am having trouble reproducing your problem. Here's what I did:
> TS <- c("c.0", "c.0", "c.0", "c.0", "s.0", "s.0", "s.0", "c.24",
+ "c.24", "c.24", "s.24", "s.24", "s.24", "s.24", "c.48",
+ "c.48", "c.48", "s.48", "s.48", "s.48", "s.48", "c.96",
+ "c.96", "c.96", "s.96", "s.96", "s.96", "s.96")
> TS <- factor(TS)
> design <- model.matrix(~0+TS)
> colnames(design) <- levels(TS)
> cont.matrix <-
+ makeContrasts(s0vss24=s.0-s.24, s24vss48=s.24-s.48,
+ s48vss96=s.48-s.96, s0vss48=s.0-s.48,
+ s0vss96=s.0-s.96, c0vsc24=c.0-c.24,
+ c24vsc48=c.24-c.48, c48vsc96=c.48-c.96,
+ c0vsc48=c.0-c.48, c0vsc96=c.0-c.96, s0vsc0=s.0-c.0,
+ s24vsc24=s.24-c.24, s48vsc48=s.48-c.48,
+ s96vsc96=s.96-c.96, levels=design)
makeContrasts returns without errors.
I suggest you try to simplify your script as much as possible, to
isolate the problem. Can you get the code snippet above to work? If
so, what do you have to add to make things no longer work?
Identify a reproducible problem. 'Reproducible' means that users on the
list can easily copy and paste into their R session and reproduce it,
i.e., no need for additional files, and no code not relevant to the
problem. For instance, targets and lmFit seem to be irrelevant to the
problem you're having with makeContrasts (though maybe not, but then
you have to come up with a way for us to reproduce the problem with
data that is available to us, e.g., using sample data distributed in
one of the Bioconductor packages). Also, if there were a problem
above, I would have started by making 'TS' simpler, e.g., just two
time points and a single contrast.
Then copy and paste the script and its output exactly as it occurs
into an email. I notice below for instance that when you print the
results of 'design' it has column names that are only possible if you
evaluate the line *after* you print it!
I'd encourage you to send email as 'text only' or 'plain
text' (rather than html), because your email client (and mine) is less
likely to munge the content in a way that makes it difficult to
interpret.
Finally, I know you mention that you're using current R &
Bioconductor, but it's much more reliable to let R tell us about
itself. Here's my sessionInfo()
