If I read the code in pmcorrect.mas() correctly (affy version 1.1), 
the mismatch is not subtracted from the perfect match, so the line

pm.corrected <- apply(cbind(pps.pm, pps.im, delta), 1, max)

should IMHO rather read

pm.corrected <- apply(cbind(pps.pm-pps.mm, pps.im-pps.mm, delta), 1,
max) ?

I might very well be missing something, so if somebody could give
me a clue I'd be grateful.

Best regards


Johannes
