pamClass: Classify using Prediction Analysis for MicroArrays
Description
Classify using the Prediction Analysis for MicroArrays (PAM) algorithm as implemented
in the pamr package
Usage
pamClass(object, groups, probe2gene = TRUE)
Arguments
object
object containing the expression measurements; currently the
only method supported is one for ExpressionSet objects
groups
character string indicating the column containing the class membership
probe2gene
logical; if TRUE Affymetrix probeset IDs are translated
into gene symbols; if FALSE no such translation is conducted
Value
object of class pamClass
