_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     Allows the user to apply scaling normalization.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     normalize.scaling(X,trim=0.02,baseline=-1)
     normalize.AffyBatch.scaling(abatch,type=c("together","pmonly","mmonly","separate"),trim=0.02,baseline=-1)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       X: A matrix. The columns of which are to be normalized

  abatch: An 'AffyBatch'

    type: A parameter controlling how normalization is applied to the
          Affybatch

    trim: How much to trim from the top and bottom before computing the
          mean when using the scaling normalization

baseline: Index of array to use as baseline, negative values
          (-1,-2,-3,-4) control different baseline selection methods

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     These function carries out scaling normalization of expression
     values.

_V_a_l_u_e:

     A normalized 'exprSet'.
