[BioC] 2 way anova in Bioconductor

Actually, you can do ANY sort of factorial design in limma. It took 
me awhile to figure out how to expand the sum to zero parametrization 
(3rd example, Section 8.7 limmaUsersGuide() ) when you have more than 
2 levels of any factor. Here's an example of a 2x3 design:

#First set up the 2 group factor, just like in the limma vignette:

 > Sex <- factor(rep(c("Female","Male"),each=6),levels=c("Male","Female"))
# Note that the order you specify the groups in the levels argument 
determines the direction of the comparison. See below.

 > contrasts(Sex) <- contr.sum(2)
 > Sex
  [1] Female Female Female Female Female Female 
Male   Male   Male   Male   Male   Male
attr(,"contrasts")
        [,1]
Male      1
Female   -1
Levels: Male Female
# Note that the contrast is male - female because female was listed 
last in the levels argument above

#Now set up the 3 group factor:

 > Time <- factor(rep(1:3,4),levels=3:1)
         # Again, the group order specified in the levels determines 
the direction of comparison

 > contrasts(Time) <- contr.sum(3)
         # You use contr.sum(3) here because you have 3 groups. If 
you have 4 groups, you'd use 4, etc.

 > Time
  [1] 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
attr(,"contrasts")
   [,1] [,2]
3    1    0
2    0    1
1   -1   -1
Levels: 3 2 1
# Note the contrasts are 3 - 1 and 2 - 1, because group 1 was listed 
last in the levels argument above

 > design <- model.matrix(~Sex*Time)
 > design
    (Intercept) Sex1 Time1 Time2 Sex1:Time1 Sex1:Time2
1            1   -1    -1    -1          1          1
2            1   -1     0     1          0         -1
3            1   -1     1     0         -1          0
4            1   -1    -1    -1          1          1
5            1   -1     0     1          0         -1
6            1   -1     1     0         -1          0
7            1    1    -1    -1         -1         -1
8            1    1     0     1          0          1
9            1    1     1     0          1          0
10           1    1    -1    -1         -1         -1
11           1    1     0     1          0          1
12           1    1     1     0          1          0
attr(,"assign")
[1] 0 1 2 2 3 3
attr(,"contrasts")
attr(,"contrasts")$Sex
        [,1]
Male      1
Female   -1

attr(,"contrasts")$Time
   [,1] [,2]
3    1    0
2    0    1
1   -1   -1

# In this design matrix, the (Intercept) coefficient is the grand 
mean, the Sex1 coef is the main effect of Sex,
# the Time1 and Time2 coef taken together will give you the main 
effect of Time, and the Sex1:Time1 and
# Sex1:Time2 coef taken together will give you the interaction term.

# Now fit the model with your data

 > fit.2x3 <- eBayes(lmFit(YourData,  design))

# To get the overall F test for the 2x3 take all coef except the Intercept:

 > overall.2x3 <- topTable(fit, coef=2:6, number=Inf)

# To get the F test (equivalent to t test) main effect of Sex, do:

 > mainSex <- topTable(fit, coef=2, number=Inf)
# Note that the logFC values need to be multiplied by 2 to get the 
actual Male:Female logFC value!

# To get the F test for the main effect of Time, do:

 > mainTime <- topTable(fit, coef=3:4, number=Inf)
# I usually don't use the actual logFC values listed for each coef, 
so I usually don't care which group is listed last

# To get the F test for the interaction term, do:

 > Interact <- topTable(fit, coef=5:6, number=Inf)


If you have 4 groups in a level, you'll have 3 coef for the main 
effect of the level and 3 coef for the interaction term, and so on up 
the line. You can also do n-way factorial designs in the same way. 
Just make sure to keep track of the coefficients!

Cheers,
Jenny
