Hi folks, Some of us are in the process of submitting a grant proposal to fund aspects of the Bioconductor project. We would like to get letters of support from individuals that are using or plan to use Bioconductor software. If you could address them to me, and send them to: Dr. R. Gentleman Dept. of Biostatistical Science DFCI 44 Binney St. Boston, Ma USA 02115 As is usually the case, I have left this later than planned. I need them here by the 22nd of this month -- so if you are going to do it, please do it soon. Please use company or University letter head. If the deadline is too tight please fax me the letter (although an original is preferable) -- number is below. Thanks in advance, Robert -- +--------------------------------------------------------------------- ------+ | Robert Gentleman phone : (617) 632-5250 | | Associate Professor fax: (617) 632-2444 | | Department of Biostatistics office: M1B20 | Harvard School of Public Health email: rgentlem@jimmy.dfci.harvard.edu | +--------------------------------------------------------------------- ------+

Hi there! I have a statement like this: data.lwf <- express(data, summary.stat=li.wong) and I get the following error message: Error in data.matrix[,!phi.outliers] %*% phi[!phi.outliers] : non-conformable arguments What does this error message mean in detail? Does the li.wong routine require to do some outlier checking beforehand? If so, what method is approporiate? Just to mention, I am not a fan of removing outliers. Anyway, How would I find the trouble making values in my data? Cheers, Hinnerk

my guess is that one of those guys was left with just one column (or none) and was turned into a vector. we probably need to add a drop=FALSE somewhere.

I think that error message is what I got in using an Hu6800 chip where there are (apparently) two probe sets with just one pair. The hack I used was to insert after this line in fit.li.wong: J <- dim(data.matrix)[2] the following comment and line: ### The following line is intended to deal with a problem in the ### treatment of Hu6800 chips. That chip has a couple of probe sets ### in which there is only one PM-MM pair. Probably, it is just a ### control region, so I am omitting the fit.li.wong operations for ### any such probe set if (J == 1) return(list(theta=c(data.matrix),sigma.theta=rep(NA,len gth(data.matrix)))) On Wed, 13 Nov 2002, Rafael A.

Yes, I do work with Hu6800 chips and thanks, I get past that error message, however, I run into a new one: Error in apply(resid[, !phi.outliers]^2, 1, sum) : dim(x) must have a positive length > traceback() 8: stop("dim(X) must have a positive length") 7: apply(resid[, !phi.outliers]^2, 1, sum) 6: fit.li.wong(t(data.matrix), remove.outliers, normal.array.quantile, normal.resid.quantile, large.threshold, large.variation, outlier.fraction, delta, maxit, outer.maxit, verbose) 5: FUN(X[[4318]], ...) 4: lapply(as.list(X), FUN, ...) 3: sapply(data.lst, summary.stat, ...) 2: t(sapply(data.lst, summary.stat, ...)) 1: express(NormLemonData, summary.stat = li.wong) Any suggestions on that one?

i think the hg6800 chip has a one probe probe set which makes li.wong break down.

It does. But the patch I suggested got Hinnerk past the first one (1127 in sequence). 4318 appears to be "U34301_at" which has 2 probe sets. On Thu, 14 Nov 2002, Rafael A.
