The more replication within treatment, the smaller the effect of shrinkage. This is because the error d.f. for the single gene error will increase, but the empirical prior d.f. will not change much. >--> I do have an experiment in which both wildtype and knockout >mice are analyzed; for now I am interested in the effects of a >nutrient in wildtype mice only.

Both the d.f. and the estimated within error will change. --Naomi Altman >Thanks for now, >Guido > > >------------------------------------------------ >Guido Hooiveld, PhD >Nutrition, Metabolism & Genomics Group >Division of Human Nutrition >Wageningen University >Biotechnion, Bomenweg 2 >NL-6703 HD Wageningen >the Netherlands > >tel: (+)31 317 485788 >fax: (+)31 317 483342 > >internet: http://nutrigene.4t.com >email: guido.hooiveld at wur.nl > > > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > >_______________________________________________ >Bioconductor mailing list >Bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch >https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/bioconductor >Search the archives: >http://news.gmane.org/gmane.science.biology.informatics.conductor Naomi S.
