     This function converts an object of class 'AffyBatch' into an
     object of class  'exprReslt' using the modified gamma Model for
     Oligonucleotide Signal  (multi-mgMOS). This function obtains
     confidence of measures, standard deviation and 5,  25, 50, 75 and
     95 percentiles, as well as the estimated expression levels.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     mgmos(object, background=TRUE, savepar=FALSE, eps=1.0e-6)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

  object: an object of 'AffyBatch'

background: Logical value. If 'TRUE', perform background correction
          before applying mmgmos.

 savepar: Logical value. If 'TRUE' the estimated parameters of the
          model are saved in file par_mgmos.txt. 

     eps: Optimisation termination criteria.

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     The obtained expression measures are in log base 2 scale.

     There are 4*n columns in file par_mgmos.txt, n is the number of
     chips. Every 4 columns are parameters for a chip.  Among every 4
     columns, the first one is for 'alpha' values, the 2nd one is for
     'a' values,  The 3rd column is for 'c' and the final column is
     values for 'd'.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     An object of class 'exprReslt'.
