_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This performs a robust normalization of the variance of the (mean
     normalized) average-across-replicates log ratios by scaling the
     (mean normalized) average-across-replicates log ratio for each
     gene either by the standard deviation of the log ratios for that
     gene across replicates (if bigger than its absolute (mean
     normalized) average-across-replicates log ratio) or scaling by a
     constant (a quantile of the distribution of standard deviations of
     log ratios across replicates for all genes whose standard
     deviation was bigger than their absolute (mean normalized)
     average-across-replicates log ratio.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     norm1d(logratio, logintensity, span = 0.6, quant = 0.99, dye.swap = FALSE)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

logratio: A multiple-column matrix of replicates of log (base 2) ratios
          of gene expressions in two samples.

logintensity: A multiple-column matrix of replicates of log (base 2)
          total intensities (defined as the product) of gene
          expressions in two samples.

    span: Proportion of data used to fit the loess regression of the
          average-across-replicates log ratios on the
          average-across-replicates log total intensities.

   quant: Quantile to be used from the distribution of standard
          deviations of log ratios across replicates for all genes
          whose standard deviation was smaller than their absolute
          (mean normalized) average-across-replicates log ratio.

dye.swap: A logical value indicating whether or not the data consists
          of a balanced dye swap (if FALSE a mean normalization will be
          performed prior to the variance normalization rather than a
          simple averaging across replicates).

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     A balanced dye swap is a data set were the data are split into two
     sets of replicates (same number of replicates in each set) where
     one set has the reverse dye assignment of the other set.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A vector of mean and variance normalized average-across-replicates
     log ratios.
