[BioC] Methylation status using lumi

Hello All:

I'd like to use the gammaFitEM(), methylationCall( ), and lumiMethyStatus() functions in lumi to distinguish methylated vs. unmethylated sites on HumanMethylation27k chips.  I've worked my way up to pg 40 in "Analyze Illumina Infinium methylation microarray data".  I downloaded the lumi package fresh today. Here's my command:

>fittedGamma <- gammaFitEM(exprs(x.cnorm.bg.qn)[ ,1], plotMode=TRUE)

and the error message:

Error: could not find function "gammaFitEM"  

x.cnorm.bg.qn is a MethyLumiM object.  Also gammaFitEM is in "http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/2.8/bioc/manuals/lumi/man/lumi.pdf"

Anyone know what am I missing?

Thanks, Rich McEachin
