## TMM normalization and voom transformation

### Description

Normalize raw counts data by TMM implemented in edgeR and then transform it by `voom` in limma

### Usage

    gdcVoomNormalization(counts, filter = TRUE)

### Arguments

`counts` | raw counts of RNA/miRNA expression data
`filter` | logical, whether to filter out low-expression genes. If `TRUE`, only genes with `cpm > 1` in more than half of the samples will be kept. Default is `TRUE`

### Value

A dataframe or numeric matrix of TMM normalized and `voom` transformed expression values on the log2 scale
