View source: R/preprocessNoob.R

Description

Noob (normal-exponential out-of-band) is a background correction method with dye-bias normalization for Illumina Infinium methylation arrays.

Usage

1
2
preprocessNoob(rgSet, offset = 15, dyeCorr = TRUE, verbose = FALSE,
               dyeMethod=c("single", "reference"))

Arguments

rgSet

An object of class RGChannelSet.

offset

An offset for the normexp background correction.

dyeCorr

Should dye correction be done?

verbose

Should the function be verbose?

dyeMethod

How should dye bias correction be done: use a single sample approach (ssNoob), or a reference array?

Value

An object of class MethylSet.
