Kooperberg Model-Based Background Correction for GenePix data
This function uses a Bayesian model to background correct GenePix microarray data.

This function is for use with GenePix data and is designed to cope with the problem of large numbers of negative intensities and hence missing values on the log-intensity scale. It avoids missing values in most cases and at the same time dampens down the variability of log-ratios for low intensity spots. See Kooperberg et al (2002) for more details.
kooperberg uses the foreground and background intensities, standard
deviations and number of pixels to compute empirical estimates of the model
parameters as described in equation 2 of Kooperberg et al (2002).
