\title{Generate an expression value from the probes informations}
\description{
  Generate an expression from the probes
}
\usage{
generateExprVal.method.avgdiff(probes, ...)
generateExprVal.method.medianpolish(probes, ...)

}
\arguments{
  \item{probes}{a matrix of probe intesities with rows representing
    probes and columns representing
    samples. Usually \code{pm(probeset)} where \code{probeset} is a
    of class \code{\link[affy:ProbeSet-class]{ProbeSet}}}
  \item{...}{extra arguments to pass to the respective function}
}
\value{
  A list containing entries:
  \item{exprs}{The expression values.}
  \item{se.exprs}{The standard error estimate.}
}
