computeZonenoise: Computes zone noise

Description

Computes the noise (average standard error) of the probe intensities for a single Affymetrix GeneChip

Usage

computeZonenoise(index, intensity, stdv, npixels, bgCells)

Arguments

index
vector of indices for probes in the given zone
intensity
vector of intensities for the GeneChip
stdv
vector of standard deviations for the GeneChip
npixels
vector containing number of pixels for each probe of the GeneChip
bgCells
number of background cells on the GeneChip

Value

the noise of the probes for the given array

Details

Calculates the noise (average standard error) of the probes in a given zone, using the algorithms described in the Affymetrix Statistical Algorithms Description Document, for a single GeneChip. This is an internal function that will generally not be accessed directly.
