     This page gives an overview of the LIMMA functions fit linear
     models to two-color microarray data in terms of the
     log-intensities rather than log-ratios.

     The function 'intraspotCorrelation' estimates the intra-spot
     correlation between the two channels. The regression function
     'lmscFit' takes the correlation as an argument and fits linear
     models to the two-color data in terms of the individual
     log-intensities. The output of 'lmscFit' is an 'MArrayLM' object
     just the same as from 'lmFit', so inference proceeds in the same
     way as for log-ratios once the linear model is fitted. See
     5.LinearModels.

     The function 'array2channel' converts two-color format target data
     frames to single channel format, to facilitate the formulation of
     the design matrix.
