Exercise

Specify a linear model to compare 2 groups

To identify differentially expressed genes for the leukemia experiment, you need to translate the following linear model to R:

where \(X_{1}\) is equal to 1 for progressive cancers and 0 for stable cancers (note: R automatically chooses the base condition by alphabetical order).
