Microarray technology enables the monitoring of expression levels for thousands of genes simultaneously. When the magnitude of the experiment increases, it becomes common to use the same type of microarrays from different laboratories or hospitals. Thus, it is important to analyze microarray data together to derive a combined conclusion after accounting for the differences. One of the main objectives of the microarray experiment is to identify differentially expressed genes among the different experimental groups. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) model has been commonly used to detect differentially expressed genes after accounting for the sources of variation commonly observed in the microarray experiment.
