BCBCSF (version 1.0-1)

d1:bcbcsfexamples: Examples of fitting models, predicting class labels, evaluating prediction, and analyzing fitting results

Description

These examples demonstrate how to use BCBCSF package. They use all prior and Markov chain sampling settings by default (except no_rmc as noted below). The methods for setting others can be found from documents for specific functions. However, the default settings may work well for a wide range of gene expression data.

##\dontrun{
## load lymphoma microarray data
data (lymphoma)

## select some cases as testing data set
ts <- c (sort(sample (1:42,5)), 43:44, 61:62)

## training data
X_tr <- lymph.X[-ts,] 
y_tr <- lymph.y[-ts]
## test data 
X_ts <- lymph.X[ts,]

## evaluate prediction given true labels

## warning: this function is slow if nfold is large; if you have a 
## computer cluster, you better parallel the cross validation folds.
