Hi Lana:
An alternative way is to remove those probes which are not changing
across all samples after your data is normalized. You may draw a mean vs
sd plot (mean and standard deviation for each probe across all samples)
to determine a reasonable sd threshold for the filtering.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Wei
