normalize.quantiles.probeset: Quantile Normalization applied to probesets

Description

Using a normalization based upon quantiles, this function normalizes a matrix of probe level intensities.

Usage

normalize.AffyBatch.quantiles.probeset(abatch,type=c("separate","pmonly","mmonly","together"),use.median=FALSE,use.log=TRUE)

Arguments

abatch
An AffyBatch
type
how should MM and PM values be handled
use.median
use median rather than mean
use.log
take logarithms, then normalize

Value

A normalized AffyBatch.

Details

This function applies the quantile method in a probeset specific manner.

In particular a probeset summary is normalized using the quantile method and then the probes adjusted accordingly.
