Vector of character strings specifying the names of the genes common to all single data sets.
geno.files
Vector of character strings specifying the names of gene expression files.
surv.data
The list of two vectors, survival time and censoring status. In the censoring status vector, 1 = event occurred, 0 = censored.
batchID
For a given data set, the batch id can be an integer or the name of the data set. The batch id must be the same for all samples or arrays of a data set.
x
Vector of character strings specifying the names of gene expression files composing the training set.
y
A vector of character string specifying the name of gene expression file used as the testing set.
Value
A list of two objects, (i) ComBat-adjusted gene expression data and (ii) the list of two vectors, the merged survival time and censoring status.
