Hi Gordon,
The gcrma.pres object from the previous example was created by
subsetting an object created by gcrma() on an AffyBatch object (code
below). I get the same error if I use the original ExpressionSet
object created by gcrma() and if I use an ExpressionSet object
created by rma(). I would assume that rma() and gcrma() would output
real ExpressionSet objects?!? Actually, calling as.matrix() on any
of my ExpressionSet objects works fine on it's own, but somehow not
within duplicateCorrelation (see code) - how can this be?
Thanks,
Jenny

#this works fine, but somehow not in duplicateCorrelation!!!
From the debugger:
