[BioC] what normalization method does mas5 use

[Brian Bennett]

Hello-

I'm using the affy spike-in latin square data to try to determine which summarization technique is the best.  I was wondering if anyone new what normalization technique mas5 uses in BioConductor.  I have been using quantiles for rma, dChip, plier, and gcrma.  I just used the mas5() command to normalize and summarize without considering its technique.  I have to go back and renormalize and resummarize if quantile normalization is not its default normalization method in order to yield more consistant data.

Thank you,
Brian Bennett
