Generate Expression calls using a C implementation of the MAS 5.0 Algorithm

Description

Implements the MAS5.0 background correction, expression summary and scaling functions as described in Affy's 'Statistical Algorithms Description Document'

Usage

  justMAS(unnormalised,tgt=100,scale=TRUE)

Arguments

Details

Uses a C code implementation of the MAS5.0 algorithm (As described in Affymetrix's 'Statistical Algorithms Reference Guide' - see http://www.affymetrix.com, and in Hubbell et al. (2002) Robust Estimators for expression analysis. Bioinformatics 18(12) 1585-1592). Note that this function returns log2 data.

Value

An AffyBatch object, with, in addition, scale-factors for each array stored in the object's description@preprocessing@sfs slot, and the target intensity the arrays were scaled to in description@preprocessing@tgt
