Our Model-Based Background Correction (MBCB) R package (publication previously discussed here) has finally been submitted to Bioconductor.

MBCB is a software package aimed at background-correcting Illumina microarrays using model-based statistics. These methods include a Bayesian Method, MLE, Non-Parametric, Robust Multi-Array Average, and GMLE. Various normalization methods are also offered for post-processing.

Hopefully it will be available within the coming weeks. In the mean time, the current versions of the software are available here:

Update: MBCB is now included in Bioconductor 2.7. More detailed instructions are available here.
