Vector of character strings containing the names of the genes common to the all data sets.
geno.files
A vector of character strings containing the names of gene expression files.
surv.data
The list of two vectors, survival time and censoring status related to the training set. In the censoring status vector, 1 = event occurred, 0 = censored.
x
A vector of indices of the names of data files composing the training set.
y
Index of the name of data file used as the testing set.
Value
A list of two objects related to the training set, (i) the matrix of Z-score normalized merged gene expression data and (ii) a list of two vectors, the combined survival time and censoring status.
