\begin{Description}\relax
Using a normalization based upon quantiles, this function
normalizes a matrix of probe level intensities.
\end{Description}
\begin{Usage}
\begin{verbatim}
  normalize.AffyBatch.quantiles.probeset(abatch,type=c("separate","pmonly","mmonly","together"),use.median=FALSE,use.log=TRUE)
\end{verbatim}
\end{Usage}
\begin{Arguments}
\begin{ldescription}
\item[\code{abatch}] An \code{\LinkA{AffyBatch}{AffyBatch}}
\item[\code{type}] how should MM and PM values be handled
\item[\code{use.median}] use median rather than mean
\item[\code{use.log}] take logarithms, then normalize
\end{ldescription}
\end{Arguments}
\begin{Details}\relax
This function applies the \LinkA{quantile}{quantile} method in a probeset specific manner.

In particular a probeset summary is normalized using the quantile
method and then the probes adjusted accordingly.
\end{Details}
\begin{Value}
A normalized \code{AffyBatch}.
\end{Value}
