Dear All, I was wondering what other people have been using for the weight function in read.maimages with Agilent arrays? I tried the following: wtAgilent.GFilter <- function(qta) { qta[,"gIsPosAndSignif"] } wtAgilent.RGFilter <- function(qta) { (qta[,"rIsPosAndSignif"]+qta[,"gIsPosAndSignif"])/2.0 } wtAgilent.RFilter <- function(qta) { qta[,"rIsPosAndSignif"] } wtAgilent.mRGFilter <- function(qta) { mapply(min,qta[,"gIsPosAndSignif"],qta[,"rIsPosAndSignif"]) } The last one seems to give somewhat "better results by-eye" when followed by loess normalization but is rather subjective.

Hi Joel, actually, I was trying to use the 8 outlier fields (columns AZ-BG of the Agilent output file) in a way similar to the 'flag' fields of other platfoms... So, I started with mywtfun <- function(exclude.flags=c(1,2,3)) function(obj) 1-(obj$rIsBGPopnOL %in% exclude.flags) and thenRG <-read.maimages(...blabla... wt.fun=mywtfun(c(1))) and maybe there's a way to include the other fields as well.... Any other ideas?

Hi Giovanni, Sorry, being new to R programs, it took me some time to parse your own. Could something of the sort be useful to you? wtAgilent.mRGOLFilter <- function(qta) { mapply(min,1-qta[,"gIsFeatNonUnifOL"],1-qta[,"gIsFeatNonUnifOL"], 1-qta[,"gIsBGNonUnifOL"],1-qta[,"gIsBGNonUnifOL"], 1-qta[,"gIsFeatPopnOL"],1-qta[,"gIsFeatPopnOL"], 1-qta[,"gIsBGPopnOL"],1-qta[,"gIsBGPopnOL"]) } I don't see (visually) much difference (for this data set) between this last filter and the previous wtAgilent.mRGFilter <- function(qta) { mapply(min,qta[,"gIsPosAndSignif"],qta[,"rIsPosAndSignif"]) } best regards, Joel P.S. For completeness sake, the Agilent manual describes 8 0/1 variables related to outliers: "gIsFeatNonUnifOL" and "rIsFeatNonUnifOL" : a value of 1 indicates Feature is a non-uniformity outlier in g(r) Boolean flag indicating if a feature is a NonUniformity Outlier or not. A feature is non-uniform if the pixel noise of feature exceeds a threshold established for a "uniform" feature. "gIsBGNonUnifOL" and " rIsBGNonUnifOL" : a value of 1 indicates Local background is a non-uniformity outlier in g(r). "gIsFeatPopnOL" and " rIsFeatPopnOL" : a value of 1 indicates Feature is a population outlier in g(r). Probes with replicate features on a microarray are examined using population statistics. A feature is a population outlier if its signal is less than a lower threshold or exceeds an upper threshold determined using the interquartile range (i.e., IQR) of the population. "gIsBGPopnOL" and "rIsBGPopnOL" : a value of 1 indicates local background is a population outlier in g(r). > Hi Joel, > actually, I was trying to use the 8 outlier fields (columns AZ-BG of the Agilent output file) in a way similar to the 'flag' fields of other platfoms... > So, I started with > mywtfun <- function(exclude.flags=c(1,2,3)) function(obj) > 1-(obj$rIsBGPopnOL %in% exclude.flags) > and thenRG <-read.maimages(...blabla... wt.fun=mywtfun(c(1))) > > and maybe there's a way to include the other fields as well.... > Any other ideas? > > Cheers > Giovanni [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi Joel, thanks for the function, which is useful in excluding flagged features in a way similar to the Imagene files. A simple barplot can give you an idea of the valid spots: barplot(RG$weights,ylab="OK spots") Last step, I guess you want to replace the 'g' with a 'r' in the second column: >wtAgilent.mRGOLFilter <- function(qta) { > mapply(min,1-qta[,"gIsFeatNonUnifOL"],1-qta[,"rlsFeatNonUnifOL"], > 1-qta[,"gIsBGNonUnifOL"],1-qta[,"rIsBGNonUnifOL"], > 1-qta[,"gIsFeatPopnOL"],1-qta[,"rIsFeatPopnOL"], > 1-qta[,"gIsBGPopnOL"],1-qta[,"rIsBGPopnOL"]) > } Best regards Giovanni At 05:30 PM 9/23/2004, you wrote: >Hi Giovanni, > >Sorry, being new to R programs, it took me some time to parse your own. > >Could something of the sort be useful to you? > >wtAgilent.mRGOLFilter <- function(qta) { > mapply(min,1-qta[,"gIsFeatNonUnifOL"],1-qta[,"gIsFeatNonUnifOL"], > 1-qta[,"gIsBGNonUnifOL"],1-qta[,"gIsBGNonUnifOL"], > 1-qta[,"gIsFeatPopnOL"],1-qta[,"gIsFeatPopnOL"], > 1-qta[,"gIsBGPopnOL"],1-qta[,"gIsBGPopnOL"]) > } >I don't see (visually) much difference (for this data set) between this >last filter and the previous > >wtAgilent.mRGFilter <- function(qta) { >mapply(min,qta[,"gIsPosAndSignif"],qta[,"rIsPosAndSignif"]) } > >best regards, > >Joel > >P.S.
