public abstract static class AffinePlm
extends ProbeLevelModel

This class represents affine model in Bengtsson & Hossjer (2006).

Usage

AffinePlm(..., background=TRUE)

Arguments

...

Arguments passed to ProbeLevelModel.

background

If TRUE, background is estimate for each unit group, otherwise not. That is, if FALSE, a linear (proportional) model without offset is fitted, resulting in very similar results as obtained by the MbeiPlm.

Model

For a single unit group, the affine model is:

y_{ik} = a + \theta_i \phi_k + \varepsilon_{ik}

where a is an offset common to all probe signals, \theta_i are the chip effects for arrays i=1,...,I, and \phi_k are the probe affinities for probes k=1,...,K. The \varepsilon_{ik} are zero-mean noise with equal variance. The model is constrained such that \prod_k \phi_k = 1.

Note that with the additional constraint a=0 (see arguments above), the above model is very similar to MbeiPlm. The differences in parameter estimates is due to difference is assumptions about the error structure, which in turn affects how the model is estimated.
