normalized control probe values #25

Closed dorks81 closed 3 years ago

dorks81 commented 4 years ago

Hi,

This is a really nice package. I am following your quantile normalization tutorials and wanted to see how the normalization algorithm also adjusted the control probe values (i.e. extension, hybe, stain, etc...) Is there anyway I can view these values. I've only been able to access the raw values.

Cheers!

Sorry about the wait. I haven't been monitoring this very closely recently.

The control probe values are not actually normalized, they are simply used to identify technical variation that should be removed from the DNA methylation probes.
