| interactionLevel {designGG} | R Documentation |
Generate levels for all interacting factors for all RILs (or strains).
This is a subfunction needed for designScore, but is not directly used.
interactionLevel( genotype.level, condition.level, markerIndex,
nEnvFactors )
genotype.level |
levels of genetic factor for each RIL (or strain) in the experiment. |
condition.level |
levels of all environmental factors for each RIL (or strain)in the experiment. |
markerIndex |
indicate which genome position that level of genetic factor corresponds to. |
nEnvFactors |
number of environmental factors, an integer bewteen 1 and 3.
When nEnvFactors is 1 and the number of levels for the enviromental factor
(nLevels)is 1, there is one condition in the experiment (i.e. no
enviromental perturbation) and thus only genetic factor will be considered in the algorithm.
When nEnvFactors is 1 and nLevels is larger than 1 or nEnvFactors is
larger than 1, all main factor(s) and interacting facotr(s) will be included.
Examples:
If there is a temperature perturbation, then nEnvFactors is 1;
If there is both temperature and drug treatment perturbation,
then nEnvFactors is 2.

markerIndex indicates the genome position that genotype.level corresponds
to.
An experiment design is defined to be optimal over all markers if
the sum of scores, e.g. A-optimality criterion over all markers is
minimized.
a matrix with nRILs rows. The number columns depends on nEnvFactors.
For example:
If nEnvFactors = 1, there is only one interaction term.
If nEnvFactors = 2, there are three pair-wise two-way interaction terms and one
three-way interaction term.
