Estimates microarray chip quality by printing expression distributions for duplicate probes. The assumption is that duplicate probes should have similar expression values and high variance indicates quality problems.
The report contains a table for each column in 'expr' that shows distribution parameters for some of the most frequent duplicate probes. Also, there is a spatial plot for each column that contains z-values for all duplicate probes. Z-values are derived with the formula Z = (X-median) / SD, where X is the raw value of the spot in question and median and SD are distribution parameters for the probe class. The figure shows the z-value range from -2 (green) to 2 (red).
