ExpressionSetList containing three
studies. Each element in the list is an ExpressionSet
data(expressionSetList) Parmigiani et al. (2004) performed a cross-study analysis of three
lung cancer studies. The studies used in this analysis were merged by
UniGene identifiers to obtain a set of 3,171 gene. The R experiment
data package lungExpression that was developed to facilitate
the reproducibility of this analysis contains the three studies as
ExpressionSets. Here, we take a random sample of 500 features from
one study (the "stanford" study), and split this study into three
artificial studies that each contain 4 squamous carcinomas and 3
adenocarcinomas. The three artificial studies are then used to create
an instance of the ExpressionSetList class.
See Garber et al. (2001) for the raw data and description of the
stanford study.
