FARMS 1.38.0

:: DESCRIPTION

FARMS (Factor Analysis for Robust Microarray Summarization ) is a model-based technique for summarizing high-density oligonucleotide array data at probe level for Affymetrix GeneChips. It is based on a factor analysis model for which a Bayesian maximum a posteriori method optimizes the model parameters under the assumption of Gaussian measurement noise. The comparison on the Affymetrix spiked-in bechmark data shows the excellent sensitivity and specificity performance of FARMS.
