[BioC] normalizing 133 a and b

[Rob Dunne]

HI list,

how are people normalizing 133a and b chips?



here is what I am doing.

1) bg.correct.rma2 (so this is per chip)
2) extract the pm values for all chips
3) for each pair (A and B) get the probes in common (168 genes)
  and make a linear correction factor to to correct the B chip.
4) adjust all the B chips to thir corresponding A chip 
5) put the data (A and B) in a matrix and 
do quantile normalization
6) this gives me the corrected probes, unfortunately some
are now negative so I add a slight fudge factor
7) I read the probes back into an AffyBatch object and get
expression values (medianpolish)


					does this sound reasonable?
