[BioC] DESeq: Hypothesis testing in multifactor design

Dear Community,

I have a question about the hypothesis testing of the two-way interaction terms in a multifactor design which includes three factors: A, B and C.

When I tested the three-way interaction I used the full and reduced models as below for nbinomGLMTest():
Full: count ~ A+B+C+A:B+A:C+B:C+A:B:C
Reduced: count ~ A+B+C+A:B+A:C+B:C 

Now comes my question, when I want to test the effect of two-way interaction terms, i.e., A:B, A:C or B:C, what should be my full and reduced models? For example, when I want to the test the effect of A:B, what should be my full and reduced models for nbinomGLMTest() using DESeq pacakge?


Best,



Yanzhu
