[BioC] Probe-level analysis of exon arrays using xps

[cstrato]

Dear Giovanni,

In principle you could do the background and normalization steps 
separately, e.g.:
 > data.bg.rma <- bgcorrect.rma(data.exon, ...)
 > data.qu.rma <- normalize.quantiles(data.bg.rma, ...)

Now you have the normalized probes, however, you cannot do any 
summarization such as median-polish or mean.

It is not quite clear to me how you want to proceed with the normalized 
probe intensities?

Best regards
Christian

I am currently analyzing several human exon chips (185!) on a 4 GB machine and I am using the xps package. I would like to stick to this software since it allows to manage several chips with the resources at hand and I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to perform probe level analysis using xps. Also, I would be grateful if anyone could point out alternative resources to perform this job.
