Dear Bioconductor members, I am using limma to analyze my microarrays. Therefore I apply lmFit and eBayes on my normalized data. Finally I write the result to a text file by write.fit function. For multiple testing correction I chose adjust='fdr' in the write.fit function. Usually everything works just as it should. However in some cases, the result file does not contain the column "F p.value.adj". The columns with the adjusted p-values ("p.value.adj") and p-value for the F-statistic ("F p.value") are present. Obviously I am doing something wrong, but I cannot figure out what it is since I am using exactly the same code for different data sets and the "F p.value.adj" column does not show up for one data set only. Thanks for your help, Pascal R version 2.10.1 (2009-12-14) limma_3.2.3

Thanks Jim, you are absolutely right. Pasting the code would have clearly shown that I did something wrong. Meanwhile I figured out myself, that the F p-value gets only corrected with an additional parameter like here: write.fit(fit2, file="file", sep="\t", adjust='fdr', F.adjust='fdr') Pascal On 03/29/2012 03:51 PM, James W.
