[BioC] How to do RMA on a subset of probesets (using oligo)?

[Benilton Carvalho]

Hi Peng,

This is not yet an implemented feature.

If you really want to do that yourself, you can use the features in  
the preprocessCore package.

Is there an specific reason rma() is not sufficient for what you need?  
Also, what do you plan to use to create the subset you refer to?  
(Asking this because I'm willing to put some effort on implementing  
such thing some time soon)

Thank you,

b
