Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

High level constructor for MolecularPermutationClassifier subclasses using available Bioconductor's Breast Cancer example datasets.

loadBCDataset(Class, libname = c("upp", "nki", "vdx", "mainz", "transbig", 
    "unt"), verbose = getOption("verbose", default = FALSE))  

## S4 method for signature 'classGeneratorFunction'
loadBCDataset(Class, libname = c("upp", 
    "nki", "vdx", "mainz", "transbig", "unt"), verbose = getOption("verbose", 
    default = FALSE))

`Class`	name of MolecularPermutationClassifier child class to use.
`libname`	lowercase character with the name of the breastCancerXXX database to be loaded. At present, XXX can be "upp", "nki", "vdx", "mainz", "transbig" or "unt". See reference for available breast cancer citations.
`verbose`	should the user feedback be displayed? By default value is "verbose" global option parameter, if present, or FALSE otherwise.

MolecularPermutationClassifier subclass object with exprs, annotation and targets slots taken from the libname used.

##Using Breast Cancer NKI database, if available, to create a PAM50 class. 
if(requireNamespace("breastCancerNKI")){
    object<-loadBCDataset(Class=PAM50, libname="nki", verbose=TRUE)  
    object

    ##Now we can inspect the object   
    head(exprs(object))      ##The gene expression
    head(annotation(object)) ##The available annotation 
    head(targets(object))    ##The clinical data present in the package
