Dear Hilary and Thomas,
The calcNormFactors() argument formerly called "quantile" was renamed
to
"p" in the edgeR package in Bioc-devel on 10 July, because the
quantity is
a probability and not a quantile.
At the same time, the option method="quantile" was renamed to
method="upperquartile", to better match the original terminology for
Bullard et al (2010) paper and to distinguish it from full quantile
normalization now being proposed by a number of authors.
Best wishes
Gordon
