The function is a wrapper of the 'limma' 'normalizeBetweenArrays' with ('none','quantile','scale') methods } \usage{ tgsNormalization(ddTGS, NORMmethod = "quantile", makePLOTpre = FALSE, makePLOTpost = FALSE, targets,verbose=FALSE) } \arguments{ \item{ddTGS}{RGList, containing the output from \code{tgsMicroRna} } \item{NORMmethod}{ character specifying the normalization method, 'none','quantile','scale'. The default is \code{quantile} } \item{makePLOTpre}{ logical, if \code{TRUE} QC plots with the Raw Total Gene Signal are displayed } \item{makePLOTpost}{ logical, if \code{TRUE} QC plots with the Normalized Total Gene Signal are displayed } \item{targets}{ data.frame with the target structure } \item{verbose}{logical, if \code{TRUE} prints out output} } \value{ An RGList object containing the Normalized Total Gene Signal in log 2 scale } \references{ Smyth, G.
