[BioC] FW: Mas5 works with mm set on NA?

[Groot, Philip de]

Hello all,

I am using the affy library with Gene ST arrays. In previous Bioconductor releases, mas5 failed because the algorithm cannot handle mm-values that are set on NA. However, in the current release mas5 normalization is performed succesfully. So I wonder: how are the mm-values estimated? I cannot find information on this in the NEWS file nor somewhere else. And is there some information available on the reliability of the calculated MAS5-values and corresponding P/M/A calls?

Regards,
