Functions to calculate quality weights for individual spots based on the image analysis output file for a spotted microarray.

|
ideal |
numeric vector giving the ideal range of areas for good quality spots (in pixels). The minimum and maximum values are used to specify the range of ideal values. All values should be positive. |
weight |
non-negative weight to be given to flagged spots. |
cutoff |
cutoff value for |
These functions can be passed as an argument to read.maimages
to construct quality weights as the microarray data is read in.
wtarea
downweights unusually small or large spots and is designed for SPOT output.
It gives weight 1 to spots that have areas in the ideal range, given in pixels, and linearly downweights spots that are smaller or larger than this range.
wtflags
is designed for GenePix output and gives the specified weight to spots with Flags
value less than the cutoff
value.
Choose cutoff=0
to downweight all flagged spots.
Choose cutoff=-50
to downweight bad or absent spots or cutoff=-75
to downweight only spots which have been manually flagged as bad.
wtIgnore.Filter
is designed for QuantArray output and sets the weights equal to the column Ignore Filter
produced by QuantArray.
These weights are 0 for spots to be ignored and 1 otherwise.
A function that takes a dataframe or matrix as argument and produces a numeric vector of weights between 0 and 1.

# pixel spots. Note: for this example to run you must set fnames to the names
# of actual spot output files (data not provided).

RG <- read.maimages(fnames,source="spot",wt.fun=wtarea(165))
# Spot will be downweighted according to weights found in RG
MA <- normalizeWithinArrays(RG,layout)
