Hi, I'm just learning Bioconductor, and I'm trying to do KNN classification using the Golub test and training sets with ALL and AML as the classifier. When I use the function knn(golubTrain, golubTest, cl=golubTrain$ALL.AML, k=3), it's says that the lengths of the training set and the classifier don't match. The documentation on KNN says you need to have the test and training sets in matrix form, but I'm not sure how to change an expression set into a matrix. I tried "unclass" and "as.matrix" with no luck. This is probably an easy question, but I'm stuck. Thanks for any help you can give. Chelsea

I have not used this data, but if golubTest is an expression set, exprs(golubTest) will return the expression values as a data frame. If this does not work, try as.matrix(exprs(golubTest)) -Christos -----Original Message----- From: bioconductor-bounces@stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:bioconductor-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Chelsea Ellis Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2006 3:51 PM To: bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [BioC] Classification and the Golub data set Hi, I'm just learning Bioconductor, and I'm trying to do KNN classification using the Golub test and training sets with ALL and AML as the classifier.

With microarray data, the opposite convention holds, with columns as samples and rows as observations. Hence you need to do: knn(t(exprs(golubTrain)), t(exprs(golubTest)), cl=golubTrain$ALL.AML, k=3) Best, Jim > > -Christos > > -----Original Message----- > From: bioconductor-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch > [mailto:bioconductor-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch] On Behalf Of Chelsea Ellis > Sent: Saturday, April 01, 2006 3:51 PM > To: bioconductor at stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [BioC] Classification and the Golub data set > > Hi, > > I'm just learning Bioconductor, and I'm trying to do KNN classification > using the Golub test and training sets with ALL and AML as the classifier. > > When I use the function > > knn(golubTrain, golubTest, cl=golubTrain$ALL.AML, k=3), > > it's says that the lengths of the training set and the classifier don't > match.
