compute_F_test_with_limma {lipidomeR}

Compute an F-test for a multi-level factor independent variable

Description

Use this to achieve analysis of variance (ANOVA) or analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). The F-test is based on a model produced by the function compute_models_with_limma. To use this function, first call the function compute_models_with_limma.

Usage

compute_F_test_with_limma(x, p.adj.threshold = 0.05, print.table = FALSE)

Arguments

x

(Required) list of models for which the test will be done. The F-test will be computed for the first independent variable that was specified in the independent.variables argument to the function compute_models_with_limma.

p.adj.threshold

(Optional) numeric value specifying the threshold for statistical significance of difference after correction for multiple testing.

print.table

(Optional) TRUE or FALSE: Print the results of the test?

Value

List x supplemented by the results of the F-test.
