     RMA+ is an extenstion of the RMA algorithm that calculates the
     probeset  intensities of a microarray using a pre-stored RMA model
     fitted on previously  obtained microarrays, e.g. reference
     microarrays. RMA++ is a further extension  based on the RMA+
     method. This package depends on the affyPLM package.

     Use 'rma.para' to obtain the reference quantiles and the probe
     effects from a reference set, then use 'rmaplus' to calculate the
     RMA+ intensities based  on the fitted reference quantiles and
     probe effects.
