Combine a set of hybridisations using the median rank method as proposed by Warnat
Usage
combineProfiles(data)
Arguments
data
A list of R objects, each object should contain a matrix of expression values to be merged with each other. The first object will be used as the reference data set.
Details
The combine profiles function merges a set of expression values, normalising across different experiments to facilitate the meta-analysis of similar experiments i.e. cell lines treated with the same drug but which may be from different "batches" or platforms.
Value
Matrix of rank normalised expression data. Rows are genes, columns are hybridisations from the different experiments.
