\HeaderA{adjBaseOlig.error}{Evaluates LPE variance function of M for quantiles of A within and 
experimental condition and then interpolates it for all genes.}{adjBaseOlig.error}
\keyword{methods}{adjBaseOlig.error}
\begin{Description}\relax
Calls adjBaseOlig.error.step1 and adjBaseOlig.error.step2 functions in order to
calculate the baseline distribution.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
  adjBaseOlig.error(y, stats=median, q=0.01, min.genes.int=10,div.factor=1,
setMax1=FALSE)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{y}] y is a preprocessed matrix or data frame of expression intensities in which columns are expression intensities for a particular experimental
condition and rows are genes.
\item[\code{stats}] It determines whether mean or median is to be used for the replicates
\item[\code{q}] q is the quantile width; q=0.01 corresponds to 100 quantiles
i.e. percentiles. Bins/quantiles have equal number of genes and
are split according to the average intensity A.
\item[\code{min.genes.int}] Determines the minimum number of genes in a subinterval for selecting the adaptive intervals.
\item[\code{div.factor}] Determines the factor by which sigma needs to be divided for
selecting adaptive intervals.
\item[\code{setMax1}] If T then all variances below the max variance in the
ordered distribution of variances are set to the maximum
variance. If F then variances are left as is (recommended)
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Value}
Returns object of class baseOlig comprising a data frame with 2 columns: A
and var M, and rows for each quantile specified. The A column contains
the median values of A for each quantile/bin and the M columns contains 
the pooled variance of the replicate chips for genes within each quantile/bin.
