## Reference quantile normalization

### Description

Quantile normalization to a reference set.

### Usage

    normalize.quantiles2(X, Reference.Quantiles)

### Arguments

`X` | A matrix of probe intensity data to be reference quantile normalized.
`Reference.Quantiles` | A vector of the reference quantiles that the probe intensities of a sample is normalized to.

### Details

The function quantile normalized the probe intensities of a set of microarrays to a set of reference quantiles which are formed by a set of reference microarrays.

### Value

The reference quantile normalized probe intensities.
