In kasperdanielhansen/minfi: Analyze Illumina Infinium DNA methylation arrays

The Noob/ssNoob preprocessing method for Infinium methylation microarrays.

Description

Noob (normal-exponential out-of-band) is a background correction method with dye-bias normalization for Illumina Infinium methylation arrays.

Usage

preprocessNoob(rgSet, offset = 15, dyeCorr = TRUE, verbose = FALSE,
               dyeMethod=c("single", "reference"))

Arguments

rgSet	An object of class RGChannelSet.
offset	An offset for the normexp background correction.
dyeCorr	Should dye correction be done?
verbose	Should the function be verbose?
dyeMethod	How should dye bias correction be done: use a single sample approach (ssNoob), or a reference array?

Value

An object of class MethylSet.

Examples

if (require(minfiData)) {
  ## RGsetEx.sub is a small subset of RGsetEx;
  ## only used for computational speed.
  MsetEx.sub.noob <- preprocessNoob(RGsetEx.sub)
}
## Not run: 
if (require(minfiData)) {
  dyeMethods <- c(ssNoob="single", refNoob="reference")
  GRsets <- lapply(dyeMethods,
                   function(m) preprocessNoob(RGsetEx, dyeMethod=m))
  all.equal(getBeta(GRsets$refNoob), getBeta(GRsets$ssNoob)) # TRUE
}

## End(Not run)
