[BioC] marray and limma error with lmFit

[Gordon Smyth]

Dear Jay,

Thanks for pointing out this error. Mea culpa -- I recently noticed 
that lmFit() wasn't setting Amean for the marrayNorm objects, and in 
fixing this have in fact broken lmFit() for marrayNorm objects.

I've fixed this for limma 2.9.14. In the meantime, you can use

     library(convert)
     lm <- lmFit(as(snorm,"MAList"), design=c(1,-1,-1,1))

Best wishes
Gordon
