[BioC] NA values

Just a short question, how does limma and limmaGUI cope with NA values? Or
even does it?

Thanks for your help,

Liz

Hi,
Just a couple of questions about plier

a) With justPlier it is possible to specify as an input vector the replicate

structure of the batch we want to analyze ('replicate' input option).
Can anybody tell me how this information is used by the algorithm? In fact, 
can anybody point me to some technical references on how plier works?   

b) I found that the 64-bit compiled version of plier  presents some
stability 
issues (i.e. it crashes). A couple of month ago Adai posted a message 
(http://files.protsuggest.org/biocond/html/9034.html)  saying that
he solved a similar (I hope) problem. 
So, Adai, Crispin, anybody, could you please point me in the right direction

in order to make plier run under my 64-bit Opteron?


Thank you

Ariel./

I had the problem when I was submitting it to a cluster. When I actually
ssh-ed into one of the nodes and ran the code interactively, it worked
fine. But then I tried with different array type, I had the segment
fault even with only 3 arrays. So I am not sure if this is a problem
with the cluster queue manager or plier or gcc or something else.

Crispin was quite helpful in suggesting to run it interactively, so I
hope he finds a solution for you.

But I eventually decided not to use PLIER expression measure simply
because no documentation was available explaining it. I prefer knowing
what I am doing than using a black box systems. 

I suggest you try RMA or GCRMA which has excellent documentation and has
been shown to be better than MAS 5.0 (which is also well documented).

Regards, Adai

I found some technical info about plier in an oral presentation from E. 
Hubbell. You can find it at:
http://mbi.osu.edu/2004/ws1materials/hubbell.ppt

However, I agree with you and think will wait for more documentation in
order 
to use plier as a production tool.

Thanks for your time

Ariel./

Hi,

I am new to R,
I am doing quantile normalization with a data
consisting of a matix  384 X 124.

While using "normailze.quantiles" I find that it introduces 'NA' into some 
of the
cells, where we should expect a numerical value, can someone help me to 
overcome this problem ?

The matrix consists of 62 plates in repliccate, and
quantile normailization is done for the data from replicates (colomn 1,2) 
using normailze.quantiles function from 'affy' package resulting in data 
output as g1

>g1 <- normalize.quantiles(exprs(MSExpr[,1:2]))
etc., uptp g62

This command works well for smaller series of data, but
while using for a larger data matrix, it introduces "NA" in the place where
it is suppose to geneerate data . It doesn't make any
sense because elsewhere in the colomn consisting of similar values it
computes properly.

In addition, if I continue to perform median
normailzation of the quantlies, the function fails to
give any output, execept for those colomns which does
not have any "NA". I cannot get rid of interference of NA in median 
normalization by using any of NA related functions.

I am using R in MAC based platform for this analysis.

Please suggest me some way to avoid 'NA' related computation problem.

If your data initially has NAs then it is quite probable that
normalize.quantiles() would introduce additional NA (or more likely turn
the entire matrix into NA) since it does not make special allowances for
NA values. I think the normalizeQuantiles() function in the limma
package handles NA's more appropriately.

Hi,
I`m interesting in update AffyPLM to version 1.4.2, but it's only to linux
version, but to windows package is 1.3.3. When it will be available the
version 1.4.2 for windows? I need this version to fix an error in data of 
Yeast.
This erro will be fixed in affylmGUI?


Thanks

Hi,

There is an exact same mailinglist message (dated Mon Jun 20 2005). It's 
said the problem is fixed, but I guess it isn't.
I still can't seem to download the Win32 SpikeIn package from the 
Experiment Data Packages section (both 1.6 stable and 1.7 devel) :

The unix source, again, is fine.
If some one could please look into this it would be highly appreciated.
Thanks for your attention!
