[BioC] RE: pm or mm methods for AffyBatch object

[Wang, Hui]

Dear list,

 

It turned out the slowness and out of memory has nothing to do with
bioconductor package.

I tested it by the following:

 

test.intensity <- test at exprs #where test.intensity is a 0.5 miliion x 5
matrix

 

plot(data.frame(test.intenisty))  # scatter plot for replicate comparison.
it took >10 mins after I increased the memory size. (I was running the
window version of R). As you can see that have nothing to do with
biocondunctor package. 

 

Best regards

Hi List,

 

I have two questions:

1)

I have a chip which is the same feature as u133A, however have much less mm
probes. When using pm or mm method, the matrices have the same dimension. I
wonder, do the methods assume the number of probes for pm or mm are the
sames by default?  How do you determine pm or mm probes?

 

2) 

The cdf I am using is the same size as u133A(I wish I could contribute my
cdf), I only read in 5 chips. However running into memory problem quickly.
For example, I did a boxplot on 5 chips, it gave memory error (I allocated
1G) after 10mins of plotting.

 

Could somebody give me some tips besides breaking down the files (since I
only have 5 files)? 

 

Best regards
