     Empirical starting values for the MCMC are based on data in
     objects of class 'ExpressionSetList'

  object: An object of class 'ExpressionSetList'

  zeroNu: Logical: if TRUE, the nu in the Bayesian model are not
          modeled - set to zero and not updated in the MCMC.  Setting
          zeroNu to TRUE should be regarded as experimental
