lumiQ: Quality control evaluation of the LumiBatch object

Description

Quality control evaluation of the LumiBatch object and returns a summary of the data

Usage

lumiQ(x.lumi, logMode = TRUE, detectionTh = 0.01, verbose = TRUE)

Arguments

x.lumi

a LumiBatch object

logMode

transform as log2 or not (the function can check whether it is already log transformed.)

detectionTh

the detection threshold used by detectionCall

verbose

a boolean to decide whether to print out some messages

Value

a LumiBatch object with QC slot keeping the QC information

Details

Quality control of a LumiBatch object includes estimating the mean and standard deviation of the chips, detectable probe ratio of each chip, sample (chip) relations, detecting outliers of samples (chips). The produced QC information is kept in the QC slot of LumiBatch class. The summary function will provide a summary of the QC information (See example).
