Function for Quantile Normalization of qPCR Data.

Description

Implements quantile normalization for a qpcrBatch object. We have adapted this algorithm from the function normalizeBetweenArrays from the limma package.

Data in a qpcrBatch object is normalized such that within an experiment, the expression distributions

across plates are more or less identical, and across experiments, the expression distributions

are also now more or less identical.

Usage

normQpcrQuantile(qBatch)

Arguments

Value

A link{qpcrBatch} object, the normalized slot is now set at TRUE.
