causton: Yeast mRNA Expression Data

In GraphAT: Graph Theoretic Association Tests

Description

This data set contains mRNA expression from a microarray experiment involving yeast grown under a variety of altered environments (e.g. acid, heat, sorbitol, etc.)

Usage

data(causton)

Examples

data(causton)

## Find the 3000 most variable genes, according to sd/mean:

varMeas<-function(vec) sd(vec)/mean(vec)
variability<-apply(causton,1,varMeas)

rks<-rank(variability)

causton3000<-causton[rks>length(rownames(causton))-3000,]
