[Bioc-devel] Request to add 'normalize' to BiocGenerics

[Laurent Gatto]

A quick (and incomplete) manual search using
http://search.bioconductor.jp/ suggest the following usage of
normalize:

As a function:
xps::normalize
codelink::normalize
EBImage::normalize
diffGeneAnalysis::normalize

Defining a generic and methods:
oligo::normalize
flowCore::normalize
MSnbase::normalize
isobar::normalize

and

several normalize\.[*+] functions

Would it be reasonable to add a normalize generic definition to
BiocGenerics?  The generic definitions in the above packages differ,
however.

Best wishes,

Laurent
