Examples

## Load toy gene expression data
data(toydata)
### class labels
yy <- toydata[1,]
### gene expression
xx <- toydata[-1,]
### Get Rankings from five different statistics
ordinaryT <- RankingTstat(xx, yy, type="unpaired")
baldilongT <- RankingBaldiLong(xx, yy, type="unpaired")
samT <- RankingSam(xx, yy, type="unpaired")
wilc <- RankingWilcoxon(xx, yy, type="unpaired")
wilcebam <- RankingWilcEbam(xx, yy, type="unpaired")
merged <- MergeMethods(list(ordinaryT, baldilongT, samT, wilc, wilcebam))
