\title{Coerce an object to belong to a given microarray class}
\description{
Coercing methods were defined to convert microarray objects of one class
into objects of another class, e.g., instances of the
\code{"\link{marrayRaw}"} class into instances of the
\code{"\link{marrayNorm}"} class.

\item{from = marrayRaw, to = marrayNorm}{convert an object of class
  \code{"\link{marrayRaw}"} into an object of class
  \code{"\link{marrayNorm}"}.} 
}}
\note{Use Package convert to convert object to other data types such as
  \code{ExpressionSet} and \code{MAList}.
