Hi again,
There is a slight error there, it should have been "marker2" at the fourth
line:
all.pairs <- combn2(5:40)
marker1 <- names(qtl)[all.pairs[, 1]]
marker2 <- names(qtl)[all.pairs[, 2]]
myfun <- function(idx) {
summary(aov(qtl$CPP ~ qtl[,idx[1]] * qtl[,idx[2]]))[[1]]$"Pr(>F)"[3])
}
p.interaction <- apply(all.pairs, 1, myfun)
Actually, you don't need "as.matrix" there, just cbind all your vectors to
obtain the final dataframe:
finally <- as.data.frame(cbind(marker1, marker2, p.interaction))
