View source: R/methods-summarization.R

Description

Fits robust Probe Level linear Models to all the (meta)probesets in an FeatureSet. This is carried out on a (meta)probeset by (meta)probeset basis.

Usage

1
fitProbeLevelModel(object, background=TRUE, normalize=TRUE, target="core", method="plm", verbose=TRUE, S4=TRUE, ...)

Arguments

object

FeatureSet object.

background

Do background correction?

normalize

Do normalization?

target

character vector describing the summarization target. Valid values are: 'probeset', 'core' (Gene/Exon), 'full' (Exon), 'extended' (Exon).

method

summarization method to be used.

verbose

verbosity flag.

S4

return final value as an S4 object (oligoPLM) if TRUE. If FALSE, final value is returned as a list.

...

subset to be passed down to getProbeInfo for subsetting. See subset for details.

Value

fitProbeLevelModel returns an oligoPLM object, if S4=TRUE; otherwise, it will return a list.

Note

This is the initial port of fitPLM to oligo. Some features found on the original work by Ben Bolstad (in the affyPLM package) may not be yet available. If you found one of this missing characteristics, please contact Benilton Carvalho.

Author(s)

This is a simplified port from Ben Bolstad's work implemented in the affyPLM package. Problems with the implementation in oligo should be reported to Benilton Carvalho.
