prepdata computes summary statistics that are useful
for all platforms; prepaffy computes Affymetrix-specific ones. These are
helper functions used by arrayQualityMetrics.prepdata(expressionset, intgroup, do.logtransform)
prepaffy(expressionset, x)ExpressionSet for one colour
non Affymetrix data,
AffyBatch for Affymetrix data,
NChannelSet for two colour arrays, or
BeadLevelList for Illumina
bead arrays.arrayQualityMetrics.prepdata.prepaffy, the returned list is x with the additional
elements appended.
