Two alternative splicing detection methods were described in the white papers from the Affymetrix web site. Are they related to the ANOSVA SVD algorithm that was published in Bioinformatics in 2005 by Cline, et al?

No, the methods in the white papers are not ANOSVA which was published in the paper referenced above. One note about ANOSVA is that it was developed on a combination exon/junction array. Some preliminary work comparing ANOSVA and PAC (one of the two methods described in the white papers) on the exon array tissue panel suggests that the MiDAS and the robust PAC methods presented in the white papers are a better way to go.
