Hi there

I am finding some sample outliers in the result from the detectOutlier meth=
od in lumi. I don=92t see anything strange about these samples when I look =
at the mean beta values. I wonder how I can find out what drives these samp=
les to be outliers (what set of probes, etc)? It would be good to know the =
reason for these, to determine whether they need to be re-included in a sep=
arate experiment. They do not seem to be outliers in the gender tests ..=20

I would appreciate your thoughts on this.=20

Many thanks
Victoria
