I'm using FIRMA algorithm, and I would like to use an existing FIRMA model (for instance one trained on 50 arrays) on new data (e.g. 2 new arrays).
I am able to train a FIRMA model (and an RMA model) quite easily using the doFIRMA (and doRMA) functions, which work quite well. However, I am not sure how I could extract the existing models to calculate FIRMA scores for the new data. To be more specific, I understand that FIRMA has basically 5 steps: -RMA steps- 1) background correction 2) normalization 3) summarization -FIRMA steps- 4) calculate residuals from fitting the standard RMA model 5) calculate the FIRMA score. I know that I could copy all 52 arrays (i.e. the old and the new) into a single folder and rerun the RMA / FIRMA algorithms on all data. However, this will become slower (and probably less necessary) as I get more and more data. I understand based on the link below that Step 1 treats each array independently, and I imagine that I can use the models (steps 2-4) calculated from the 50 old experiments on the 2 new experiments. However, I don't know how to do that. * https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/aroma-affymetrix/FIRMA$20same$20model$20on$20new$20data/aroma-affymetrix/Ime1c6DjzBs/7n-vTdo3pCgJ Can you please help?
