Hi Dr. Huber,

I have done as kept vsn with default TRUE value but I
come up with same error for esetSubNorm[,4:6]

I have 6 CEL files and I am reading through
Readaffy().I am comparing Knock Out (KO) and Wild
Type(WT) samples from Mouse embryo Fibroblast Affy
data.

I have below described expression set, please let me
know if you need more values or informatoin for
expression set.

Here, vsnPlotPar works nice.

But

> esetSub2Train <- esetSub2Norm[,4:6];
Error in validObject(.Object) : Invalid "phenoData"
object: FALSE

> phenoData(esetSub2);
         phenoData object with 3 variables and 6 cases
         varLabels
                sample: arbitrary numbering
