normOLIN: Normalise a cDNA Microarray Object

Description

This function loads a maigesRaw object and normalise it using methods OLIN or OSLIM.

Usage

normOLIN(obj=NULL, ...)

Arguments

obj

object of type maigesRaw to be normalised.

...

additional parameters for function olin.

Value

This function returns a maiges object.

Details

This function for normalisation is entirely based on function olin from OLIN package. This function implements the methods OLIN and OSLIM, proposed by Futschich and Crompton (2004). See help page for this function to discover how to set the parameters.

## Doing the OLIN normalization. Pay attention because, this methods are

## Not run: 
# gastro.norm = normOLIN(gastro.raw2) ## Without scale adjustment

# gastro.norm = normOLIN(gastro.raw2, OSLIN=TRUE) ## With scale adj
