     This package defines the following data classes.

      '_R_G_L_i_s_t'  A class used to store raw intensities as they are read
          in from an image analysis output file, usually by
          'read.maimages'.

      '_M_A_L_i_s_t'  Intensities converted to M-values and A-values, i.e.,
          to contrasts on the log-scale. Usually created from an
          'RGList' using 'MA.RG' or 'normalizeBetweenArrays'.

      '_M_A_r_r_a_y_L_M'  Store the result of fitting gene-wise linear models
          to the normalized intensities or log-ratios. Usually created
          by 'lmFit'.

     Objects of these classes may be subsetted and multiple data
     objects may be combined.

     All of these classes belong to the virtual class
     'LargeDataObject'. A 'show' method is defined for
     'LargeDataOject's which uses the utility function 'printHead'.
