Examples

set.thread.count(2)
data(cgps)
feature_data <- mRMR.data(data = data.frame(cgps.ge))

# No stratification (default)
sampleStrata(feature_data)

# Random stratification 
sampleStrata(feature_data) <- as.factor(sample(c(0,1), 
  sampleCount(feature_data), replace=TRUE))
# Show result
sampleStrata(feature_data)
