## Computing Empirical Bayes Statistics for Differential Expression

### Description

`comp.ebayes` returns a function of one argument with bindings for `L` and `proportion`. This function accepts a microarray data matrix as its single argment, when evaluated, computes lod-odds (B statistics) and moderated t statistics of differential expression by emprical Bayes shrinkage of the standard error toward a common value.

### Usage

    comp.ebayes(L = NULL, proportion = 0.01)

### Arguments

`L` | A vector of integers corresponding to observation (column) class labels. For k classes, the labels must be integers between 0 and k-1.
`proportion` | A numeric variable specifying the proportion of differential expression.

### Details

The function returned by `comp.ebayes` calculates B statistics and moderated t statistics for each row of the microarray data matrix, with bindings for `L` and `proportion`. It interfaces to a C function.

### Value

`comp.ebayes` returns a function (F) with the bindings for `L` and `proportion` . The function F when supplied with a microarray data matrix and evaluated will return a matrix of two columns:

`t` | Moderated t statistics
`B` | B statistics (log-odds) of differential expression

### Examples

    X <- matrix(rnorm(1000,0,0.5), nc=10)
    L <- rep(0:1,c(5,5))

    # genes 1-10 are differentially expressed
    X[1:10,6:10]<-X[1:10,6:10]+1

    # compute B and moderated t statistics, proportion set as 0.01
    ebayes.fun <- comp.ebayes(L)
    ebayes.X <- ebayes.fun(X)

    # compute B and moderated t statistics, proportion set as 0.1
    ebayes.fun <- comp.ebayes(L, proportion=0.1)
    ebayes.X <- ebayes.fun(X)
