orQA provides methods for quality assessment microarray titration data. These include permutation based trend and shape tests useful for the assessment of accuracy and cross platform consistency as well as methods for the estimation of variance components under order restrictions.
orQA provides methods for quality assessment of microarray titration
data. Exploiting the monotonic nature of such measurements accuracy,
precision and cross-platform agreement can be derived. For the assessment
of accuracy using shape tests see pttest
. To evaluate
precision using variance component estimates see
est.lme
. Order restricted inference of monotonic trends
for the purpose of cross-platform comparison is provided by
e2test
. For an example see below.
