Hi, I am beginner with Lumi and I manually copy/paste the median and quantile values from each sample in the MAplot(lumi.N) pdf to identify the >xSD outliers. Could you please help me with R commands that I can use to save these values for all sample on a table, so I dont have to do it manually. I found no hints in google or FAQ. I appreciate your time and help.
