[BioC] within chip probe replicates, Agilent chips

Hi Tyler,

You can use duplicateCorrelation(), as long as the replicates are 
regularly spaced. If you are using one of the 4X44 Agilent chips, the 
Agi4x44PreProcess package has some facilities for looking at the 
duplicate probes, but nothing to do e.g., mixed models with them.

Best,

Jim
