[BioC] outlier probes detection

[andrea.grilli at ior.it]

Dear all,
I'm performing an analysis on HGU133plus2 arrays with 40 samples;
looking at their surface with "affyPLM" package, I've seen a couple of
arrays with small scratches and one more with a small bubble. Because
I don't want to exclude these arrays (according to Murphys' law 2 on 3
belong to the class with less samples), I want to detect those probes
and to exclude them.
I was thinking in some outlier detection method, but because I'm new
to this problem I don't know if this is the right method and which
packages can be appropriate (did some research but I've no clear idea).
Any help is really appreciated,
andrea
