Meaning of RMA Values

Hello All, I am new to the bioinformatics field. I came across this dataset and I was curious to what ID_REF means and what the Value means? Would some one be able to assist me? The link below is the website that contains the dataset.[1]

The ID_REF probably is a probe id (microarray) and RMA stands for Robust Multiarray Average (which with some googling you can find more information about)
