Description Usage Arguments Methods References See Also Examples

Robust Multichip Average preprocessing methodology. This strategy allows background subtraction, quantile normalization and summarization (via median-polish).

  ## S4 method for signature 'ExonFeatureSet'
rma(object, background=TRUE, normalize=TRUE, subset=NULL, target="core")
  ## S4 method for signature 'HTAFeatureSet'
rma(object, background=TRUE, normalize=TRUE, subset=NULL, target="core")
  ## S4 method for signature 'ExpressionFeatureSet'
rma(object, background=TRUE, normalize=TRUE, subset=NULL)
  ## S4 method for signature 'GeneFeatureSet'
rma(object, background=TRUE, normalize=TRUE, subset=NULL, target="core")
  ## S4 method for signature 'SnpCnvFeatureSet'
rma(object, background=TRUE, normalize=TRUE, subset=NULL)

`object`	Exon/HTA/Expression/Gene/SnpCnv-FeatureSet object.
`background`	Logical - perform RMA background correction?
`normalize`	Logical - perform quantile normalization?
`subset`	To be implemented.
`target`	Level of summarization (only for Exon/Gene arrays)

signature(object = "ExonFeatureSet"): When applied to an ExonFeatureSet object, rma can produce summaries at different levels: probeset (as defined in the PGF), core genes (as defined in the core.mps file), full genes (as defined in the full.mps file) or extended genes (as defined in the extended.mps file). To determine the level for summarization, use the target argument.
signature(object = "ExpressionFeatureSet"): When used on an ExpressionFeatureSet object, rma produces summaries at the probeset level (as defined in the CDF or NDF files, depending on the manufacturer).
signature(object = "GeneFeatureSet"): When applied to a GeneFeatureSet object, rma can produce summaries at different levels: probeset (as defined in the PGF) and 'core genes' (as defined in the core.mps file). To determine the level for summarization, use the target argument.
signature(object = "HTAFeatureSet"): When applied to a HTAFeatureSet object, rma can produce summaries at different levels: probeset (as defined in the PGF) and 'core genes' (as defined in the core.mps file). To determine the level for summarization, use the target argument.
signature(object = "SnpCnvFeatureSet"): If used on a SnpCnvFeatureSet object (ie., SNP 5.0 or SNP 6.0 arrays), rma will produce summaries for the CNV probes. Note that this is an experimental feature for internal (and quick) assessment of CNV probes. We recommend the use of the 'crlmm' package, which contains a Copy Number tool specifically designed for these data.
