\begin{Description}\relax
Coercing methods were defined to convert microarray objects of one class
into objects of another class, e.g., instances of the
\code{"\LinkA{marrayRaw}{marrayRaw}"} class into instances of the
\code{"\LinkA{marrayNorm}{marrayNorm}"} class.
\end{Description}
\begin{Section}{Methods}
\describe{
\item[from = marrayRaw, to = marrayNorm] convert an object of class
\code{"\LinkA{marrayRaw}{marrayRaw}"} into an object of class
\code{"\LinkA{marrayNorm}{marrayNorm}"}. 
}
\end{Section}
\begin{Note}\relax
Use Package convert to convert object to other data types such as
\code{exprSet} and \code{MAList}.
