normQpcrQuantile: Function for Quantile Normalization of qPCR Data.
In qpcrNorm: Data-driven normalization strategies for high-throughput qPCR data.

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Implements quantile normalization for a qpcrBatch object. We have adapted this algorithm from the function normalizeBetweenArrays from the limma package.

Data in a qpcrBatch object is normalized such that within an experiment, the expression distributions

across plates are more or less identical, and across experiments, the expression distributions

are also now more or less identical.

qBatch

A link{qpcrBatch} object.

A link{qpcrBatch} object, the normalized slot is now set at TRUE.
