Usage

pick_probes(
  expmat,
  fac,
  method = c("IQR", "mad", "mean", "median"),
  returnProbes = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

expmat	matrix whose rows can partly be summarized using a factor
fac	factor used for summarizing rows
method	method of summary, defaults to IQR
returnProbes	logical (default = FALSE), whether to return the actual probe IDs rather than a subset matrix, useful for some cases
...	arguments passed to summary functions (typically na.rm)
