[BioC] Limma: can't coerce Rgmodel into exprSet

[michael watson (IAH-C)]

Hi James

Thanks for that!  This ties together with my posts yesterday - I want to
use the Biobase function esApply on my limma data, and esApply uses
exprSet objects.  Can I also coerce MA objects into exprSet objects
through this method?

Thanks
Mick

limma used to use regular lists for RG data but now it uses S4 
objects of class RGList.  Matt Ritchie wrote the kooperberg 
function, so I'm CCing the email to him.  He has (for the 
moment) used the old style (just a regular list).  You can 
convert it to the new style with:

RGobj <- new("RGList",.Data=RGmodel)
as(RGobj,"exprSet")

Hope this helps,
James
