_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Function uses the bead summary data to find the average intensity
     of a particular bead type on each array in the experiement.

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

     getMeanIntensities(BSData, ProbeID)

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

  BSData: an BeadSummaryList object containing bead level data

 ProbeID: numeric value giving the ProbeID we want values for

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

     The function returns the calculated bead summary value that has
     been calculated for each array in the experiment

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

     vector of length n (where n is number of arrays in experiment)
     giving the average intensity of the bead type on each array in the
     experiment.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     data(BSData)

     ##To get the average intensitiy of bead with ProbeID 2 on all 4 arrays in the experiement use:

     getMeanIntensities(BSData, 2)
