maNormNN {nnNorm} | R Documentation |
This function normalizes a batch of cDNA arrays by removing the intensity and spatial dependent bias.
maNormNN(mbatch,binWidth=3,binHeight=3,model.nonlins=3,iterations=200,robust=TRUE,maplots=FALSE)
mbatch |
A marrayRaw or marrayNorm batch of arrays.
|
binWidth |
Width of the bins in the X direction (spot column) in which the
print tip will be divided in order to account for spatial variation. Max value
is maNsc(mbatch) , Min value is 1. However if it is set to a number larger than
maNsc(mbatch)/2 (so less than two bins in X direction) the variable X will not
be used as predictor to estimate the bias.
|
binHeight |
Height of the bins in the Y direction (spot row)in which the
print tip will be divided in order to account for spatial variation. Max value
is maNsr(mbatch) , Min value is 1. However if it is set to a number larger than
maNsr(mbatch)/2 (so less than two bins in Y direction) the variable Y will not
be used as predictor to estimate the bias.
|
model.nonlins |
Number of nodes in the hidden layer of the neural network model. |
iterations |
The number of iterations at which (if not converged) the training of the neural net will be stopped. |
robust |
If set to "TRUE" , each spot will be assigned a weight in the model identification, providing resistance to
outliers.
|
maplots |
If set to "TRUE" will produce a M-A plot for each slide before and after normalization.
|
This function uses neural networks to model the bias in cDNA data sets.
