Using a normalization based upon quantiles this function normalizes the columns of a matrix such that different subsets of rows get normalized together.
1 | normalize.quantiles.in.blocks(x,blocks,copy=TRUE)
|
x |
A matrix of intensities where each column corresponds to a chip and each row is a probe. |
copy |
Make a copy of matrix before normalizing. Usually safer to work with a copy |
blocks |
A vector giving block membership for each each row |
This method is based upon the concept of a quantile-quantile
plot extended to n dimensions. No special allowances are made for
outliers. If you make use of quantile normalization either through
rma
or expresso
please cite Bolstad et al, Bioinformatics (2003).

blocks <- c(rep(1,5),rep(2,5),rep(3,5))
par(mfrow=c(3,2))
x <- matrix(c(rexp(5,0.05),rnorm(5),rnorm(5,10)))
boxplot(x ~ blocks)
y <- matrix(c(-rexp(5,0.05),rnorm(5,10),rnorm(5)))
boxplot(y ~ blocks)
pre.norm <- cbind(x,y)
### the in.blocks version
post.norm <- normalize.quantiles.in.blocks(pre.norm,blocks)
boxplot(post.norm[,1] ~ blocks)
boxplot(post.norm[,2] ~ blocks)
### the usual version
post.norm <- normalize.quantiles(pre.norm)
boxplot(post.norm[,1] ~ blocks)
boxplot(post.norm[,2] ~ blocks)
