What is better? SAM or LIMMA?

11 February 2019 0 8K Report

I am trying to analysis differential gene expression. There are some available methods for microarray data. And Limma seems quite useful because it is easy to draw volcanic plot after analyze data. However, SAM is good for nonparametric data.

Hence, can you give me some advices about when should I use Limma or SAM?
