+
+    Implements multiple background correction methods from limma, suitable for
+    different experimental designs and data characteristics.
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    adata
+        AnnData object with shape (n_samples, n_probes).
+        Must contain raw intensity values in `.X`.
+        For methods other than 'none' and 'normexp', background intensities
+        should be available in `.layers['background']`.
+    method
+        Background correction method:
+        - 'none': No correction applied
+        - 'subtract': Simple background subtraction (E - Eb)
+        - 'half': Subtract with minimum threshold of 0.5
+        - 'minimum': Subtract, then replace negatives with half-minimum per array
+        - 'edwards': Log-linear interpolation for dull spots (Edwards 2003)
+        - 'normexp': Normal+exponential convolution model (default, recommended)
+        - 'mas': MAS5 spatial background correction with grid-based smoothing
+    offset
+        Value to add to corrected intensities. Default is 0.
+    normexp_method
+        Parameter estimation method for normexp correction:
+        - 'saddle': Saddle-point approximation (default, fast)
+        - 'mle': Maximum likelihood estimation (slower, more accurate)
+        - 'rma': RMA algorithm (requires affy package equivalent)
+        - 'rma75': RMA-75 variant (McGee & Chen 2006)
+    edwards_offset
+        Threshold fraction for edwards method. Default is 0.1 (10%).
+    mas_grid_dim
+        Number of grid regions for MAS5 spatial background (default=16).
+        Must be a perfect square (e.g., 4, 9, 16, 25).
+    copy
+        If True, return a copy of the AnnData object. If False, modify in place.
+
+    Returns:
+    -------
+    AnnData or None
+        If `copy=True`, returns corrected AnnData object.
+        If `copy=False`, modifies `adata` in place and returns None.
+        The corrected intensities are stored in `.X`.
+        Correction parameters are stored in `.uns['background_correction']`.
+
+    Examples:
+    --------
+    >>> import microarray as ma
+    >>> adata = ma.io.cel_batch_to_anndata(cel_files, cdf_path, annotation_db)
+
+    >>> # RMA-style normexp correction (default)
+    >>> adata_corrected = ma.pp.background_correct(adata, method="normexp", copy=True)
+
+    >>> # Simple subtraction (requires background layer)
+    >>> adata_corrected = ma.pp.background_correct(adata, method="subtract", copy=True)
+
+    >>> # Edwards method for dull spots
+    >>> adata_corrected = ma.pp.background_correct(adata, method="edwards", copy=True)
+
+    Notes:
+    -----
+    **Method descriptions:**
+
+    - **none**: No correction, sets background to zero. Fast but not recommended.
+
+    - **subtract**: Traditional `E = E - Eb`. Simple but can produce negative values.
+
+    - **half**: `E = max(E - Eb, 0.5)`. Prevents values below 0.5.
+
+    - **minimum**: Subtracts background, then for each array replaces negatives with
+      half the minimum positive value in that array. Array-specific adjustment.
+
+    - **edwards**: Log-linear interpolation for dull spots. For spots where
+      `E - Eb < delta`, applies: `E = delta * exp(1 - (Eb + delta)/E)`.
+      The threshold `delta` is chosen so approximately `edwards_offset` fraction
+      of negative/zero spots are interpolated.
+
+    - **normexp**: Normal+exponential convolution model. Observed intensity =
+      Normal(μ, σ²) background + Exponential(α) signal. Computes conditional
+      expectation E[signal | observed]. Most sophisticated and recommended for
+      Affymetrix and similar data.
+
+    - **mas**: MAS5 spatial background correction. Divides chip into grid regions
+      (default 16), estimates background from lowest 2% of intensities in each region,
+      then applies weighted smoothing based on distance to region centroids.
+      Corrected value = max(E - BG_weighted, 0.5 * noise_weighted). Required for
+      MAS5 pipeline.
+
+    The normexp model uses different parameter estimation methods:
+    - 'saddle': Fast saddle-point approximation (recommended)
+    - 'mle': Maximum likelihood via optimization (more accurate, slower)
+    - 'rma': Original RMA method (mode-based estimation)
+    - 'rma75': RMA-75 with improved mode correction (more robust)

+    """Apply RMA background correction to microarray intensity data.
+
+    This function is maintained for backward compatibility. It calls the unified
+    `background_correct()` function with method='normexp'.
+
+    Implements the RMA background correction using a convolution model where
+    observed intensity = background + signal. The background is modeled as
+    normal(μ, σ²) and signal as exponential(α).
+
+    For each sample, the algorithm:
+    1. Estimates μ (mu) from the mode of the intensity distribution
+    2. Estimates σ (sigma) from the standard deviation of low-intensity probes
+    3. Adjusts intensities using the conditional expectation: E[signal | observed]
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    adata
+        AnnData object with shape (n_samples, n_probes).
+        Must contain raw intensity values in `.X`.
+    copy
+        If True, return a copy of the AnnData object. If False, modify in place.
+
+    Returns:
+    -------
+    AnnData or None
+        If `copy=True`, returns corrected AnnData object.
+        If `copy=False`, modifies `adata` in place and returns None.
+        The corrected intensities are stored in `.X`.
+        Correction parameters are stored in `.uns['background_correction']`
+        and `.uns['normexp_params']`.
+
+    Examples:
+    --------
+    >>> import microarray as ma
+    >>> adata = ma.io.cel_batch_to_anndata(cel_files, cdf_path, annotation_db)
+    >>> adata_corrected = ma.pp.rma_background_correct(adata, copy=True)
+
+    Notes:
+    -----
+    The algorithm uses:
+    - α (alpha) = 0.03 (fixed, in simplified mode)
+    - μ (mu) estimated from histogram mode (0 to 75th percentile, 100 bins)
+    - σ (sigma) estimated from probes with intensity < μ, scaled by √2
+
+    The correction formula is:
+        a = y - μ - α·σ²
+        y_adjusted = a + σ·exp(log_pdf(a/σ) - log_cdf(a/σ))
+
+    where y is the observed intensity and pdf/cdf are from the standard normal distribution.
