         The training dataset of 64 arrays and 306 gene expression values}
      \item{\$test:}{\code{\link{data.frame}}, of 306 rows and 25 columns. 
         The test dataset of 25 arrays and 306 genes expression values}
      \item{\$gene.labels.imagesID:}{\code{vector} of 306 Image clone identifiers
         corresponding to the rownames of \$train and \$test.}
      \item{\$train.classes:}{\code{\link{factor}} with 4 levels "EWS",
         "BL-NHL", "NB" and "RMS", which correspond to the four groups in

\code{khan} contains a filtered data of 2308 gene expression profiles
as published and provided by Khan et al. (2001) on the supplementary 
web site to their publication 
\url{http://research.nhgri.nih.gov/microarray/Supplement/}.

The data was copied from the made4 package (\url{http://www.bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/html/made4.html})

\description{
Khan contains gene expression profiles of four types of small round
blue cell tumours of childhood (SRBCT) published by Khan et al. (2001).
It also contains further gene annotation retrieved from SOURCE at \url{http://source.stanford.edu/}.

\details{
Khan et al., 2001 used cDNA microarrays containing 6567 clones of which
3789 were known genes and 2778 were ESTs to study the expression of
genes in of four types of small round blue cell tumours of childhood (SRBCT).  
These were neuroblastoma (NB), rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS), Burkitt lymphoma, a 
subset of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (BL), and the Ewing family of tumours
(EWS). Gene expression profiles from both tumour biopsy and cell line 
samples were obtained and are contained in this dataset. The dataset downloaded 
from the website contained the filtered dataset of 2308 gene expression profiles as described
by Khan et al., 2001.  This dataset is available from the \url{http://bioinf.ucd.ie/people/aedin/R/}.

In order to reduce the size of the MADE4 package, and produce small example datasets, the top 50 genes from the
ends of 3 axes following \code{bga} were selected. This produced a reduced datasets of 306 genes.
