Hello,
I'm running into the same problem with gcrma and justGCRMA. They are not giving
the same numeric results. Is this an intended feature?
I was under the impression that these two methods were identical with the
exception that justGCRMA was more memory efficient because it didn't have to
create an AffyBatch object.
Can anyone shed some light on this subject?
Thanks,
Jin
