Performs scale normalization of an M-value matrix or an A-value matrix across a series of arrays.
Users do not normally need to call these functions directly - use normalizeBetweenArrays
instead.

If x
is a matrix of log-ratios of expression (M-values) then normalizeMedianAbsValues
is very similar to scaling to equalize the median absolute deviation (MAD) as in Yang et al (2001, 2002).
Here the median-absolute value is used for preference to as to not re-center the M-values.
normalizeMedianAbsValues
is also used to scale the A-values when scale-normalization is applied to an MAList
object.
A numeric matrix of the same size as that input which has been scaled so that each column has the same median value (for normalizeMedianValues
) or median-absolute value (for normalizeMedianAbsValues
).
