Hi Adi.

First, you seem to be doing the FIRMA analysis on probeset-level data (i.e. 
roughly 4 probes per exon), using the fullR1,A20080718,MR.  FIRMA is really a 
method that uses all of the probe-level data for an entire *gene* and then 
summarizes residuals to score differential splicing at the probeset level.  
You'll therefore want to use a CDF file that is oriented this way (perhaps 
MoEx-1_0-st-v1,coreR1,A20080718,MR.cdf or 
MoEx-1_0-st-v1,U-Ensembl50,G-Affy,EP.cdf?)

I think the NaNs you get are just from the fact that some exons only have a 
single probe (and, as you say, group=1 below!).

Cheers,
Mark
