normMethods	a vector of character strings for the available methods that can be used as a normalization method of affy data.
PMMethods	a vector of character strings for the available methods that can be used as a PM correction method of affy data.
expMethods	a vector of character strings for the available methods that can be used as a summary method of affy data.
BGDefault	a character string for the name of a default background correction method.
normDefault	a character string for the name of a default normalization method.
PMDefault	a character string for the name of a default PM correction method.
expDefault	a character string for the name of a default summary method.
