\begin{Description}\relax
Allows the user to apply normalization routines to exprSets.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
  normalize.exprSet.quantiles(eset,transfn=c("none","log","antilog"))
  normalize.exprSet.loess(eset,transfn=c("none","log","antilog"),...)
  normalize.exprSet.contrasts(eset, span = 2/3, choose.subset = TRUE, subset.size = 5000, verbose = TRUE, family = "symmetric",transfn=c("none","log","antilog"))
  normalize.exprSet.qspline(eset,transfn=c("none","log","antilog"),...)
  normalize.exprSet.invariantset(eset,prd.td = c(0.003, 0.007),verbose=FALSE,transfn=c("none","log","antilog"))
normalize.exprSet.scaling(eset,trim=0.02,baseline=-1,transfn=c("none","log","antilog"))
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{eset}] An \code{\Link{exprSet}}
\item[\code{span}] parameter to be passed to the function \code{\Link{loess}}.
\item[\code{choose.subset}] 
\item[\code{subset.size}] 
\item[\code{verbose}] verbosity flag
\item[\code{family}] parameter to be passed to the function
\code{\Link{loess}}.
\item[\code{prd.td}] cutoff parameter (details in the bibliographic
reference)
\item[\code{trim}] How much to trim from the top and bottom before computing
the mean when using the scaling normalization
\item[\code{baseline}] Index of array to use as baseline, negative values
(-1,-2,-3,-4) control different baseline selection methods
\item[\code{transfn}] Transform the exprSet before normalizing. Useful when
dealing with expression values that are log-scale
\item[\code{...}] Additional parameters that may be passed to the
normalization routine
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
This function carries out normalization of expression values. In
general you should either normalize at the probe level or at the
expression value level, not both.

Typing \code{normalize.exprSet.methods} should give you a list of
methods that you may use. note that you can also use the
\code{normalize} function on exprSets. Use \code{method} to select the
normalization method.\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
A normalized \code{\Link{exprSet}}.\end{Value}
