Christian

\section{Introduction}

 This is the quality assessment report for the dataset 'My Dataset'. The dataset consists of
 6 Affymetrix GeneChip arrays of type 'Test3'. \\

 This report was generated using function \Rfunction{xpsQAReport} of package \xps. \\

\section{Summary}

 The current quality report for dataset 'My Dataset' displays the most important quality plots, using the
 default settings for most plots. Package \xps\ contains additional plots which can be used for further
 quality assessments. \\
