[BioC] XPS package QC data

[cstrato]

Dear Kirill,

To answer your first question: No, the pdf file does not contain more 
information than shown in the QC stats folder, it is only a conversion 
of the QAReport.Rnw file.

BTW, I have just tried to run function 'xpsQAReport()' and get the 
following error:

Loading required package: tools
Error in .get_package_metadata(pkgdir) :
   Files 'DESCRIPTION' and 'DESCRIPTION.in' are missing.

Is this the error that you get?

It seems that function buildVignettes() of the 'tools' package must have 
changed since this error did not appear in earlier versions of R!!
I will ask at the R-devel mailing list what the error might be.

BTW, if you want to get also numeric QC values please have a look at 
function treeInfo() and the examples shown in the help '?treeInfo'.


Regarding your second  question:
- What is the name of the ROOT binary that you have installed on your 
current machine? (Is this WinXP?)
- What is the name of the ROOT binary that you did install on Windows 7?

Best regards,
Christian

In arrayQualityMetrics report I can see table with detected outliers (such as here: http://www-huber.embl.de/arrayQualityMetrics/Report_for_nMLL_with_factors/). In the xps package I cannot make my report in pdf because I have some errors, only Rwd file and all images. Does pdf file contain more information than I see into the QC stats folder?

I used arrayQualityMetrics package before new version of R was avaliable which doesn't maintain affy package for ST arrays. ArrayQualityMetrics creates good report with "outliers" assays, which are out of borders (for example, cut-offs for NUSE is 1.1), but I've not seen this in xps.
