## modified gamma Model for Oligonucleotide Signal

### Description

This function converts an object of class `FeatureSet` 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.

### Usage

    mgmos(
    	object
    ,	background=FALSE
    ,	replaceZeroIntensities=TRUE
    ,	gsnorm=c("median", "none", "mean", "meanlog")
    ,	savepar=FALSE
    ,	eps=1.0e-6
    )

### Arguments

`object` | an object of `FeatureSet`
`background` | Logical value. If `TRUE`, perform background correction before applying mmgmos.
`replaceZeroIntensities` | Logical value. If `TRUE`, replace 0 intensities with 1 before applying mmgmos.
`gsnorm` | character. specifying the algorithm of global scaling normalisation.
`savepar` | Logical value. If `TRUE` the estimated parameters of the model are saved in file par\_mmgmos.txt and phi\_mmgmos.txt.
`eps` | Optimisation termination criteria.

### Details

The obtained expression measures are in log base 2 scale.

The algorithms of global scaling normalisation can be one of "median", "none", "mean", "meanlog". "mean" and "meanlog" are mean-centered normalisation on raw scale and log scale respectively, and "median" is median-centered normalisation. "none" will result in no global scaling normalisation being applied.

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'.

### Value

An object of class `exprReslt`.
