| avereps {limma} | R Documentation |
Condense a microarray data object so that values for within-array replicate spots are replaced with their average.
## Default S3 method: avereps(x, ID=rownames(x)) ## S3 method for class 'MAList': avereps(x, ID=NULL)
x |
a matrix-like object, usually a matrix or an MAList object. |
ID |
probe identifier. |
A new data object is computed in which each probe is represented by the average of its replicate spots.
For an MAList object, the components M and A are both averaged in this way, as weights and any matrices found in object$other.
For an MAList object, ID defaults to MA$genes$ID is that exists, otherwise to rownames(MA$M).
If x is of mode "character", then the replicate values are assumed to be equal and the first is taken as the average.
A data object of the same class as x with a row for each unique value of ID.
