In limma: Linear Models for Microarray Data

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

Adjust foreground intensities for observed background using Normal+Exp Model. This function is called by backgroundCorrect and is not normally called directly by the user.

1	normexp.signal(par, x)

`par`	numeric vector containing the parameters of the Normal+Exp distribution, see `normexp.fit` for details.
`x`	numeric vector of (background corrected) intensities

In general the vector normmean is computed conditional on background at each spot.

Numeric vector containing adjusted intensities.
