combine_and_deduplicate: Combine and De-duplicate AffyBatch objects.

In steveneschrich/IncrementalRMA: Affymetrix-based RMA Processing Using Fixed Parameters

Description

Having two AffyBatch objects, combine them into a single AffyBatch object, paying attention to duplicates.

Usage

combine_and_deduplicate(new, ref)

Arguments

new	AffyBatch-class of samples to use
ref	Reference AffyBatch-class to merge in non-duplicates for

Details

Two AffyBatch objects (esets) can be combined using combine function. However, if they have several samples in common we don't want the duplicates. This tries to remove duplicates by examining both the names and the expression data for duplication.

The result of this effort is to produce a single AffyBatch which combines the two objects, but with duplicates removed.

Value

An AffyBatch-class combining the two arguments, with duplicates removed.

Examples

## Not run: 
combine_and_deduplicate(Dilution, Dilution)

## End(Not run)
