\title{Normalize - generic}
5
A generic function which normalizes microarray data.
6
Normalization is intended to remove from the intensity measures any
7
systematic trends which arise from the microarray technology rather than
8
from differences between the probes or between the target RNA samples
9
hybridized to the arrays.
12
normalize(object, ...)
15
\item{object}{a data object containing microarray data.}
16
\item{\dots}{any other arguments.}
19
Type \code{showMethods("normalize")} at the R prompt to see what
20
methods are available. Help on individual methods is generally available
21
as \code{normalize}.<class> where <class> is the class of the data
22
object. For example, for the main class in the \code{affy} package use
23
\code{?normalize.AffyBatch}.
25
Other Bioconductor packages include some related generic functions:
26
\code{\link[limma]{normalizeWithinArrays}}, and
27
\code{\link[limma:normalizebetweenarrays]{normalizeBetweenArrays}}, in
29
%and \code{\link[marrayNorm]{maNorm}} in the marrayNorm package.
