This function creates a list storing information about dividing data into blocks, as well as about possibly excluding genes or samples with excessive numbers of missing data.
newBlockInformation(blocks, goodSamplesAndGenes)A vector giving block labels. It is assumed to be a numeric vector with block labels consecutive integers starting at 1.
A list returned by goodSamplesGenes or goodSamplesGenesMS.
A list with class attribute set to BlockInformation, with the following componens:
A copy of the input blocks.
A list with one component per block, giving the indices of elements in block whose
value is the same.
A copy of input goodSamplesAndGenes.
Number of `good' genes in goodSamplesAndGenes.
The input blocks restricted to `good' genes in goodSamplesAndGenes.
