Thnx ryan but this vl nly give me the symbols i have to the hypergeometric test to using GOstats.Plz if u could help on this.
Hi i am carrying out differential gene expression analysis using limma further i need to do gene set enrichment analysis using GOstats but thers a problem. These are my set of differential expressed genes
[1] "1557994_at" "205933_at" "1559688_at"
[4] "232837_at" "212253_x_at" "212845_at"
[7] "233520_s_at" "236931_at" "205054_at"
[10] "237981_at" "209896_s_at" "221718_s_at"
[13] "226648_at" "208195_at" "211928_at"
but when I convert the character vector to numeric I get a warning that NA's introduced as coercion and getting result somewhat this way :
[1] NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
[26] NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
[51] NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
[76] NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA
how do I solve this problem. And when i carry out analysis its taking hours and no output .

There are annotation packages for most arrays you'll ever use in R. You'll find that easier than trying to roll your own solution.

That's just an example. It looks like GOtats is expecting an EntrezID, so just use ENTREZID instead of SYMBOL. You could even directly get the associated GO terms if you wanted (you'd have to roll your own test function then, most likely) by instead using GO.
As an aside, you have a full keyboard on your computer. There's no need to use things like "Plz" or "u" or "dis".

Are you literally just
as.numeric(d)on a character vectord(just as an example)? That will always produce an NA since there's no obvious conversion between probe IDs like that and numbers. You canas.numeric(c("1","2","100"))since those are just character representations of numbers, but you have probe IDs.is it necessary to convert them into numeric vecctor
i have generated top 500 genes and saved their rownames in vector rn as
Have you read the GOstats documentation (PDF) ? Nowhere does it mention conversion of probeset IDs to a numeric value. Perhaps what you want to do is convert to Entrez Gene ID?
how am i supposed to move ahead i am trying dis from past 10 days but couldnt get the result
