Hi,
I would appreciate some advice.
I am analyzing 2 color data (Agilent) using limma. Within limma I
applied VSN normalization. So far, so good.
Now i would like to use the 'meanSdPlot' function to 'verify the fit'
(as is strongly recommended after running vsn). However, this function
meanSdPlot does not accept an object of class MAlist..., according to
the help page only when the class of the object is a matrix,
ExpressionSet or vsn.
Question: how to convert a MAlist into e.g. a matrix, so it can be as
input for the function meanSdPlot?
Thanks,
Guido

Please use 'meanSdPlot' to verify the fit. <<<--------
