Hello,

I'm running into the same problem with gcrma and justGCRMA. They are not giving 
the same numeric results. Is this an intended feature? 

I was under the impression that these two methods were identical with the 
exception that justGCRMA was more memory efficient because it didn't have to 
create an AffyBatch object.

Can anyone shed some light on this subject?

Thanks,
Jin
