_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Functions to validate and assess the performance of vsn through
     simulation of data.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     sagmbSimulateData(n=8064, d=2, de=0, up=0.5, nrstrata=1)
     sagmbAssess(h1, sim)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       n: Numeric. Number of probes (rows).

       d: Numeric. Number of arrays (columns).

      de: Numeric. Fraction of differentially expressed genes.

      up: Numeric. Fraction of up-regulated genes among the
          differentially expressed genes.

nrstrata: Numeric. Number of probe strata.

      h1: Matrix. Calibrated and transformed data, according, e.g., to
          vsn

     sim: List. The output of a previous call to 'sagmbSimulateData',
          see Value

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     Please see the vignette.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     For 'sagmbSimulateData', a list with four components: 'hy', an 'n
     x d' matrix with the true (=simulated) calibrated, transformed
     data; 'y', an 'n x d' matrix with the simulated uncalibrated raw
     data - this is intended to be fed into 'vsn'; 'is.de', a logical
     vector of length 'n', specifying which probes are simulated to be
     differentially expressed. 'strata', a factor of length 'n'.

     For 'sagmbSimulateData', a number: the root mean squared
     difference between true and estimated transformed data.
