preprocess {affyPLM} | R Documentation |
This function pre-processes an AffyBatch
.
preprocess(object, subset=NULL, normalize=TRUE, background=TRUE, background.method="RMA.2", normalize.method="quantile", background.param=list(), normalize.param=list(), verbosity.level=0)
object |
an |
subset |
a vector with the names of probesets to be used. If NULL then all probesets are used. |
normalize |
logical value. If |
background |
logical value. If |
background.method |
name of background method to use. |
normalize.method |
name of normalization method to use. |
background.param |
list of parameters for background correction methods |
normalize.param |
list of parameters for normalization methods |
verbosity.level |
An integer specifying how much to print out. Higher values indicate more verbose. A value of 0 will print nothing |
This function carries out background correction and normalization
pre-processing steps. It does not summarize to produce gene expression
measures. All the same pre-processing methods supplied by
threestep
are supported by this function.
