Hi,
Thanks for your reply, and sorry for the delay. As always, I got
distracted by other projects ?
I am looking to perform a DE analysis for a disease with three states,
while correcting for smoking status. So I was using ? :
fit0 = fitNbinomGLMs( cdsFull, count ~ smoking )
fit1 = fitNbinomGLMs( cdsFull, count ~ smoking + condition )
? then comparing the models to see whether adding condition improves
the
fit of the model and has a significant effect (as described in the
vignette).
However, if I wanted to make a specific comparison of, say, the two
most
extreme disease states (state A against C, ignoring B), how would I go
about doing this?
Thanks for letting me know about DESeq2, I was unaware of it.
Cheers,
Jamie
