Write MArrayLM Object to a File

Description

Write a microarray linear model fit to a file.

Usage

write.fit(fit, results=NULL, file, digits=3, adjust="none", sep="\t", ...)

Arguments

fit object of class MArrayLM containing the results of a linear model fit
results object of class TestResults
file character string giving name of file
digits integer indicating precision to be used
adjust character string specifying method to use to adjust the P-values for multiple testing, e.g., "holm" or "fdr". See p.adjust for the available options. If NULL or "none" then the P-values are not adjusted.
sep the field separator string. Values in the output file will be separated by this string.
... other arguments are passed to write.table

Details

This function writes a tab-delimited text file containing for each gene (1) the average log-intensity, (2) the log-ratios, (3) moderated t-statistics, (4) F-statistic if available, (5) classification if available and (6) gene names and annotation.

Value

No value is produced but a file is written to the current working directory.
The p-value adjustment is done separately for each column. This is equivalent to decideTests with method="separate".
