Hi Kai,

You can easily get correlation coefficients using R directly, but 
probably not AffylmGUI.

 >library(affy)

 >setwd("path_to_your_CELfiles")

 > rawdata <- ReadAffy() # this will read in all the CEL files in 
that directory

# to get correlation coefficients on raw, PM probe-level data between 
all pairs of arrays:
 >cor(pm(rawdata))

 >mas5data <- mas5(rawdata)

 >rmadata <- rma(rawdata)

# to get correlation coefficients using mas5 values or rma values 
between all pairs of arrays:
 > cor(exprs(mas5data))

 > cor(exprs(rmadata))

Don't forget that while the mas5 algorithm works independently on 
each array, the rma algorithm depends on which arrays are normalized together.

HTH,
Jenny
