Dear Erik,
The error you're receiving is almost certainly due to the fact that
your function filter() refers to columns which don't exist in GenePix
data files. Your problem therefore has nothing to do with limma
versions. You are using the columns "Median of Ratios (635/532)" and
"Sum of Medians (635/532)", and these column headings don't exist in
any GenePix file that I've seen. Check the files for the actual
names. I suspect that you want "Median of Ratios (Ratio/3)" and "Sum
of Medians".
The warning message you quote actually doesn't have any affect on the
results. You can ignore it. It does indicate something that I'll fix,
but it is only a warning, not an error.
Best wishes
Gordon
