Introduction
This file gives some details on some of the plug-ins in this package.
Background correction plug-in
This plug-in will remove a per-slide global background from all spots. The background is calculated from a set of negative control spot on the array. See implementation details below for details.
Parameters
The only parameter to set is how background intensities should be calculated. Allowed values are median or mean, i.e. the background is either the median or the mean of the negative control spots on the array.
Implementation details
Each assay is treated separately, i.e., no samples are combined together. All calculations are made on the current bioassay data implying that this plug-in should be used early in analysis and before background spots are removed.
A spot is considered to be a negative control spot if it has an External Id exactly matching the string (-)3xSLv1.
