Hi Christian,
We have just added to limma some functions and documentation for doing
single-channel normalization. Limma is an R package that has been
included
in the Bioconductor release package. Gordon Smyth is the maintainer
for limma and the package is frequently updated. You should go to
http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limma/ for the latest release which now
includes
the single-channel(sc) normalization functionality and function for
plotting the single-channel densities.
This latest release has also just been posted to Bioconductor to the
Developmental Package of limma at http://www.bioconductor.org/ and
will be
available there shortly.
In R use help.start() and go to packages...limma...Accommpanying
documentation...usersguide (in .html or .pdf)
Section 14 of the usersguide is on single-channel normalization for
two-color arrays. This gives an example of normalizing the
single-channels of the ApoAI data set which is part of sma.
See also the help examples for the function plotDensities,
normalizeWithinArrays, and normalizeBetweenArrays. Some of these
examples are given below.
library(limma)
library(sma)
help.start()
data(MouseArray)
# just bkg
corr
MA.n <- MA.RG(mouse.data) # no
normalization
MA.q <- normalizeBetweenArrays(MA.p, method = "q") # quantile
norm
G.q <- normalizeBetweenArraysRG.MA(MA.n)$G,method="q") # only green
sc's
# takes a
matrix
tmp<-cbindRG.MA(MA.n)$R,RG.MA(MA.n)$G)[,c(1,3,8,9,12)] # select sc's
tmp.q <- normalizeBetweenArrays(tmp, method = "q") # takes a
matrix
MA.p <- normalizeWithinArrays(MA.n, mouse.setup) # default
p-loess
MA.pq <- normalizeBetweenArrays(MA.p, method = "q") # pq norm
MA.MpAq <- normalizeBetweenArrays(MA.p, method = "Aq") # MpAq norm

plotDensities(MA.n) # default
plotDensities(MA.n,arrays=c(1:6), # same as
default
groups=c(rep(1,6),rep(2,6)),col=c("red","green"))
plotDensities(MA.n,arrays=NULL,groups=NULL, # diff cols
col=c("blue","purple"))
plotDensities(MA.n,singlechannels=c(1,2,7)) # indexing
sc's
plotDensities(MA.n,singlechannels=c(1,2,7), # diff cols
col=c("pink","purple"))
plotDensities(MA.n,singlechannels=c(1,2,7), # groups=2
col=c("pink","purple","blue")) # col too long
plotDensities(MA.n,singlechannels=c(1,2,7), # controlling
groups=c(1,2,3),col=c("pink","purple","blue")) # col and
groups
plotDensities(MA.n,singlechannels=c(1,2,7),groups=c(1,1,1),
col=c("purple"))
# All single-channels, three groups (ctl,tmt,reference), three
colors.
plotDensities(MA.n,singlechannels=c(1:12),
groups=c(rep(1,3),rep(2,3),rep(3,6)),col=c("darkred","red","green"))
# Densities after single-channel MpAq (preferred) normalization.
