Title: Missing values in Lowess/Spline normalization method
Post by: Hzamora14 on September 09, 2022, 08:23:13 AM
Hello everyone,

How should missing values have to be represented before using LOWESS/Spline normalization software? They should be represented with zeros "0", "NA", or only blank cells.

Or do you recommended firstly doing missing values imputation and then doing LOWESS/Spline normalization for batch/signal correction?

Thank you in advance for your answers.
