It is actually not quite the case that dChip is a black box. Under "Source code and command line version" on http://biosun1.harvard.edu/complab/dchip/install.htm it says "the latest source codes of dChip are available on request [by sending an email]". Also, the source code for a version of dChip for "Linux/MPI", which I assume has some in common with the Windows version, is available for download (see link on the above page). BTW, what kind of preprocessing do you apply in your comparison? For instance, both dChip and R/BioC provide quantile normalization but they use totally different algorithms (and model assumptions). To the best of my understanding (from browsing the Linux dChip code), dChip uses splines, whereas R/BioC uses sorting for quantile normalization, which in practice means that dChip fits a smoother function and when comparing empirical density functions of normalized probe signals they will not be identical across arrays whereas the R/BioC normalized ones will be. /Henrik > > I thought someone else could be intrested in sharing this information, since > other persons > may have found themselves in the same situation. > > Best Regards and thanks for your time ! > > > Marco > > > > > On 1/31/07, marco zucchelli <marco.bioc at="" gmail.com=""> wrote: > > > > Laurent, > > > > according to affy vignette and MBEI paper of Li and Wong >10 arrays > > should be enough. > > Anyway I tried to process my arrays with dChip and there I get no warnings > > at all. > > > > I also exported the expression values from dChip in a text file and loaded > > them into R. > > > > Even if expression values cannot be compared I applied the same LIMMA > > analysis to both the > > expression values form expresso and dChip and the results are pretty > > different.
