marrayRaw-class: Class "marrayRaw", classes and methods for pre-normalization cDNA microarray intensity data

Description

This class represents pre-normalization intensity data for a batch of cDNA microarrays. A batch of arrays consists of a collection of arrays with the same layout ("marrayLayout"). The class contains slots for the green (Cy3) and red (Cy5) foreground and background intensities, the layout of the arrays, and descriptions of the target samples hybridized to the arrays and probe sequences spotted onto the arrays.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new('marrayRaw', maRf = ...., # Object of class matrix maGf = ...., # Object of class matrix maRb = ...., # Object of class matrix maGb = ...., # Object of class matrix maW = ...., # Object of class matrix maLayout = ...., # Object of class marrayLayout maGnames = ...., # Object of class marrayInfo maTargets = ...., # Object of class marrayInfo maNotes = ...., # Object of class character )

Slots

Object of class "matrix", red background intensities, rows correspond to spotted probe sequences, columns to arrays in the batch.

maGb:

Object of class "matrix", green background intensities, rows correspond to spotted probe sequences, columns to arrays in the batch.

maW:

Object of class "matrix", spot quality weights, rows correspond to spotted probe sequences, columns to arrays in the batch.
