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

     Produce GEO Sample Submission File in the SOFT format based on the
     provided LumiBatch object and sample information

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

     produceGEOSubmissionFile(lumiNormalized, lumiRaw, lib.mapping, sampleInfo = NULL, fileName = "GEOSubmissionFile.txt", supplementaryRdata = TRUE)

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

lumiNormalized: The normalized data (LumiBatch object) 

 lumiRaw: The raw data (LumiBatch object), e.g., returned by 'lumiR' 

lib.mapping: The Illumina ID Mapping library, e.g.,
          "lumiHumanIDMapping" 

sampleInfo: The sample information filename or data.frame, which is
          returned by 'produceGEOSampleInfoTemplate' 

fileName: The file name of GEO Submission file  

supplementaryRdata: determine whether produce the Rdata supplement
          data, which include both lumiNormalized and lumiRaw R
          objects. 

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

     The function produces the GEO sample submission file including
     both normalized and raw data information  in the SOFT format. The
     sample information should be provided by the user as a data.frame
     or Tab separated text file following the format of the template,
     which can be produced by function 'produceGEOSampleInfoTemplate'.
     Users need to fill in the detailed sample descriptions in the
     template, especially the Sample_title, Sample_description and some
     protocols. Users are also suggested to fill in the
     "Sample_platform_id" by checking information of the GEO Illumina
     platform.

     When the parameter "supplementaryRdata" is TRUE, the R objects,
     lumiNormalized, lumiRaw and sampleInfo, will be saved in a file
     named 'supplementaryData.Rdata'.

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

     Save the result as a text file in SOFT sample submission format.
     The supplementary Rdata will be saved in a file
     'supplementaryData.Rdata'.

     ## After editing the 'GEOsampleInfo.txt' by filling in sample information
     # produceGEOSubmissionFile(lumiNormalized, lumiRaw, lib='lumiHumanIDMapping', sampleInfo='GEOsampleInfo.txt')
