msms.edgeR
(Package: msmsTests) :
Spectral counts differential expression by edgeR
Given a null and an alternative model, with a two level treatment factor as the two conditions to compare, executes the negative binomial test by edgeR functions to discover differentially expressed proteins between the two conditions. The null and alternative models may include blocking factors.The reference level of the main factor is considered to be the control condition
Given a null and an alternative model, with a two level treatment factor as the two conditions to compare, executes a Poisson based GLM regression to discover differentially expressed proteins between the two conditions. The null and alternative models may include blocking factors.The reference level of the main factor is considered to be the control condition.
Given a null and an alternative model, with a two level treatment factor as the two conditions to compare, executes a quasi-likelihood based GLM regression to discover differentially expressed proteins between the two conditions. The null and alternative models may include blocking factors.The reference level of the main factor is considered to be the control condition.
Statistical tests for label-free LC-MS/MS data by spectral counts, to discover differentially expressed proteins between two biological conditions. Three tests are available: Poisson GLM regression, quasi-likelihood GLM regression, and the negative binomial of the edgeR package. The three models admit blocking factors to control for nuissance variables. To assure a good level of reproducibility a post-test filter is available, where we may set the minimum effect size considered biologicaly relevant, and the minimum expression of the most abundant condition.

(Package: msmsTests) :
Table of cumulative frequencies of p-values by log fold change bins
Given the set of p-values and log fold changes that result from a test, computes a table of cumulative frequencies of features by p-values in bins of log fold changes.
test.results
(Package: msmsTests) :
Multitest p-value adjustment and post-test filter
Operates on the statistic tests results obtained from msms.glm.pois(), msms.glm.qlll() or msms.edgeR(). The following variables are computed: Raw expression mean values for each condition (control and treatment), log fold change based on these expression levels and taking into account the normalizing divisors (div), multitest adjusted p-values with FDR control, and a post test filter based on minimum spectral counts and minimum absolute log fold change as estimated by the statistic test. According to the results of this post-test filter, features are flagged as T or F depending on whether they result relevant or not, beyond their statistic signicance.
