Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) See Also Examples
Function to search by groups of few genes, also called cliques, that can discriminate (or classify) between two distinct biological sample types, using the k nearest neighbourhood method. This function uses exhaustive search.

gNameID="GeneName", geneGrp=1, path=NULL, nGenes=3, kn=5)
|
obj |
object of class |
sLabelID |
character string with the identification of the sample label to be used. |
facToClass |
named list with 2 character vectors specifying the samples to be compared. If NULL (default) the first 2 types of sLabelID are used. |
gNameID |
character string with the identification of gene label ID. |
geneGrp |
character or integer specifying the gene group to be
tested ( |
path |
character or integer specifying the gene network to be
tested ( |
nGenes |
integer specifying the number of genes in the clique, or classifier. |
kn |
number of neighbours for the knn method. |
Pay attention with the arguments geneGrp
and path
, if
both of them is NULL an exhaustive search for all dataset will be done,
and this search may be extremely computational intensive, which may
result in a process during some weeks or months depending on the
number of genes in your dataset.
If you want to construct classifiers from a group of several genes,
the search and choose (SC) method may be an interesting option. It is
implemented in the function classifyKNNsc
.
This function uses the function knn.cv
from
package class to construct k-nearest neighbour classifiers. It
possible to use functions classifyLDA
or
classifySVM
to construct classifiers using Fisher's
linear discriminant analysis or support vector machines methods, respectively.
The result of this function is an object of class maigesClass
.
