Arguments

`x`	biological data.
`D`	object of class `"UnivariateDistribution"`.
`...`	additional parameters.
`mad0`	scale estimate used if computed MAD is equal to zero. Median and MAD are used as start parameter for optimization.
`bg.correct`	if `TRUE` MAS 5.0 background correction is performed; confer `bg.correct.mas`.
`pmcorrect`	if `TRUE` `log2(PM/MM)` is used. If `FALSE` only `log2(PM)` is used.
`verbose`	logical: if `TRUE`, some messages are printed.
`log`	if `TRUE`, then the log2 intensities for each bead-type are summarized.
`what`	character string specifying which intensities/values to summarize; see `getBeadData`.
`probes`	Specify particular probes to summarize. If left `NULL` then all the probes on the first array are used.
`arrays`	integer (scalar or vector) specifying the strips/arrays to summarize. If `NULL`, then all strips/arrays are summarized.

Details

The minimum Kolmogorov distance is computed for each row of a matrix, each Affymetrix probe, or each Illumina bead, respectively.

So far, only the minimum distance to the set of normal distributions can be computed.

Value

Details

The optimally-robust resp. the radius-minimax (rmx) estimator for normal location and scale is used to preprocess biological data. The computation uses a k-step construction with median and MAD as starting estimators; cf. Rieder (1994) and Kohl (2005).

If the amount of gross errors (contamination) is known, it can be specified by eps. The radius of the corresponding infinitesimal contamination neighborhood (infinitesimal version of Tukey's gross error model) is obtained by multiplying eps by the square root of the sample size.

If the amount of gross errors (contamination) is unknown, which is typically the case, try to find a rough estimate for the amount of gross errors, such that it lies between eps.lower and eps.upper.

If eps is NULL, the radius-minimax (rmx) estimator in sense of Rieder et al. (2001, 2008), respectively Section 2.2 of Kohl (2005) is used.

The algorithm used for Affymetrix data is similar to MAS 5.0 (cf. Affymetrix (2002)). The main difference is the substitution of the Tukey one-step estimator by our rmx k-step (k >= 1) estimator in the PM/MM correction step. The optional scale normalization is performed as given in Affymetrix (2002).

In case of Illumina data, the rmx estimator is used to summarize the bead types. The implementation for the most part copies summarize from beadarray.

For sample size <= 2, median and MAD are used for estimation.

If eps = 0, mean and sd are computed.

Value

Return value depends on the class of x. In case of "matrix" a matrix with columns "mean" and "sd" is returned. In case of "AffyBatch" an object of class "ExpressionSet" is returned. In case of "BeadLevelData" an object of class "ExpressionSetIllumina" is returned.

Perform Monte-Carlo Study.

Description

The function AffySimStudy can be used to perform Monte-Carlo studies comparing Tukey's biweight and rmx estimators for normal location and scale. The function IlluminaSimStudy can be used to perform Monte-Carlo studies comparing Illumina's default method - a Huber-type skipped mean and sd (cf. Hampel (1985)) - and rmx estimators for normal location and scale. In addition, maximum likelihood (ML) estimators (mean and sd) and median and MAD are computed. The comparison is based on the empirical MSE.

Usage

AffySimStudy(n, M, eps, seed = 123, eps.lower = 0, eps.upper = 0.05, 
             steps = 3L, fsCor = TRUE, contD, plot1 = FALSE, 
             plot2 = FALSE, plot3 = FALSE)
IlluminaSimStudy(n, M, eps, seed = 123, eps.lower = 0, eps.upper = 0.05, 
                 steps = 3L, fsCor = TRUE, contD, plot1 = FALSE, 
                 plot2 = FALSE, plot3 = FALSE)
AffySimStudy(n, M, eps, seed = 123, eps.lower = 0, eps.upper = 0.05, 
             steps = 3L, fsCor = TRUE, contD, plot1 = FALSE, 
             plot2 = FALSE, plot3 = FALSE)
IlluminaSimStudy(n, M, eps, seed = 123, eps.lower = 0, eps.upper = 0.05, 
                 steps = 3L, fsCor = TRUE, contD, plot1 = FALSE, 
                 plot2 = FALSE, plot3 = FALSE)

Arguments

`n`	integer; sample size, should be at least 3.
`M`	integer; Monte-Carlo replications.
`eps`	amount of contamination in [0, 0.5].
`seed`	random seed.
`eps.lower`	used by rmx estimator.
`eps.upper`	used by rmx estimator.
`steps`	integer; steps used for estimator construction.
`fsCor`	logical; use finite-sample correction.
`contD`	object of class `"UnivariateDistribution"`; contaminating distribution.
`plot1`	logical; plot cdf of ideal and real distribution.
`plot2`	logical; plot 20 (or M if M < 20) randomly selected samples.
`plot3`	logical; generate boxplots of the results.

Details

Normal location and scale with mean = 0 and sd = 1 is used as ideal model (without restriction due to equivariance).

Since there is no estimator which yields reliable results if 50 percent or more of the observations are contaminated, we use a modification where we re-simulate all samples including at least 50 percent contaminated data.

We use funtion rowRoblox for the computation of the rmx estimator.

Value

Data.frame including empirical MSE (standardized by sample size n) and relMSE with respect to the rmx estimator.
