Excludes specified eigenfeatures/eigenassays from the original data

1 2	## S4 method for signature 'Eigensystem' exclude(x, excludeEigenfeatures = NULL)

`x`	object of class eigensystem
`excludeEigenfeatures`	vector of positive integers representing eigenfeatures to be excluded from the data

The function excludes eigenfeatures/eigenassays from the data that correspond to steady-state intensity, steady-scale variance, experimental artifacts and/or noise as specified by the user. In case no eigenfeatures are specified, the eigenfeature(s) corresponding to steady-state/steady-scale is/are removed. Filtering out steady-state expression/intensity corresponds to centering the expression/intensity patterns at steady-state expression/intensity level (arithmetic mean of expression/intensity ~ 0). Filtering out steady-scale variance corresponds to normalization by the steady scale of expression/intensity variance (geometric mean of variance ~ 1).
