In BCBCSF: Bias-Corrected Bayesian Classification with Selected Features

Description References See Also Examples

These examples demonstrate how to use BCBCSF package. They use all prior and Markov chain sampling settings by default (except no_rmc as noted below). The methods for setting others can be found from documents for specific functions. However, the default settings may work well for a wide range of gene expression data.
