Model

For a single unit group, the affine model is:

y_{ik} = a + θ_i φ_k + \varepsilon_{ik}

where a is an offset common to all probe signals, θ_i are the chip effects for arrays i=1,...,I, and φ_k are the probe affinities for probes k=1,...,K. The \varepsilon_{ik} are zero-mean noise with equal variance. The model is constrained such that ∏_k φ_k = 1.

Note that with the additional constraint a=0 (see arguments above), the above model is very similar to MbeiPlm. The differences in parameter estimates is due to difference is assumptions about the error structure, which in turn affects how the model is estimated.
