singh2002: Prostate Cancer Study of Singh et al. (2002)

Description

Gene expression data (6033 genes for 102 samples) from the microarray study of Singh et al. (2002). Also available in the sda package.

Usage

data(singh2002)

Format

A list of two components.

x:

is a 102 \(\times\) 6033 matrix containing the expression levels. The rows contain the samples and the columns the genes.

y:

is a factor containing the diagnosis for each sample ("cancer" or "healthy").

Details

This data set contains measurements of the gene expression of 6033 genes for 102 observations. The first 52 rows are for the cancer patients and the last 50 rows are for the normal control subjects.
