[BioC] Inquiry about lumiT function

[Neagu Matei Stefan [guest]]

May I ask you a question about output of the function lumiT ?
I am using this function to do variance stabilization on some data from an Ilumina BeadStudio output file using the VST method. Because of the standard format of this file, I have 4 values for each probe, AVG_Signal, BEAD_STDERR,Avd_NBEADS and Detection_Pvalue which of course are the inputs for the lumiT function. Applying the VST method, the 3 parameters c1,c2 and c3 are calculated. Since the input file does not explicitily provide the bead-level values for each probe, but only their statistical characteristics, I do not understand exactly how the final value for each probe outputed by the lumiT function is calculated and if it represents the mean of the transformed bead-level values.
To be more precise I would like to ask if the final output is calculated with the formula:h=1/c1*arcsinh⁡(c2/√c3+(c1*m)/√c3), where m represents the mean of the beads values of the probe and h represents the output of lumiT for that probe.
Thank you very much for your kindness.
