[BioC] ExpressionSet, fitPLM confusion

[James W. MacDonald]

Hi Georg,

In addition to what Wolfgang told you, the affyPLM package in the devel 
repository won't work with R-2.5.0 yet, because some of the changes that 
have been made to the ExpressionSet object have not been addressed in 
the affyPLM package.

 > dat <- ReadAffy()
 > pset <- fitPLM(dat)
Error in checkSlotAssignment(object, name, value) :
	assignment of an object of class "AnnotatedDataFrame" is not valid for 
slot "phenoData" in an object of class "PLMset"; is(value, "phenoData") 
is not TRUE
In addition: Warning message:
The exprSet class is deprecated, use ExpressionSet instead

Your best bet at this time is to go back to using release versions.

Best,

Jim
