+ (description
+ "The package implements a method for normalising microarray intensities,
+and works for single- and multiple-color arrays. It can also be used for data
+from other technologies, as long as they have similar format. The method uses
+a robust variant of the maximum-likelihood estimator for an
+additive-multiplicative error model and affine calibration. The model
+incorporates data calibration step (a.k.a. normalization), a model for the
+dependence of the variance on the mean intensity and a variance stabilizing
+data transformation. Differences between transformed intensities are
+analogous to \"normalized log-ratios\". However, in contrast to the latter,
+their variance is independent of the mean, and they are usually more sensitive
+and specific in detecting differential transcription.")
