     The data are from Golub et al. These are the training samples, 20
     patients  with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 14 patients
     with acute myeloid  leukemia (AML).  The samples were assayed
     using Affymetrix Hgu6800 chips and data on the  expression of 7129
     genes (Affymetrix probes) are available. The data were obtained
     from the Web site listed below and transformed slightly. They were
     installed in an 'exprSet'.

_F_o_r_m_a_t:

     There are 11 covariates listed.

        *  'Samples': The original sample numbers.

        *  'ALL.AML': Whether the patient had AML or ALL.

        *  'BM.PB': Whether the sample was taken from bone marrow or
           from  peripheral blood.

        *  'T.B.cell': ALL arises from two different types of
           lymphocytes  (T-cell and B-cell). This specifies which for
           the ALL patients; it is 'NA' for the AML samples.

        *  'FAB': FAB classification.

        *  'Date': The date the sample was obtained.

        *  'Gender': The gender of the patient the sample was obtained
           from. 

        *  'pctBlasts': An estimate of the percentage of blasts.

        *  'Treatment': For the AML patient and indicator of whether
           the  treatment was a success.

        *  'PS': Prediction Strength.

        *  'Source': The institution that provided the samples.
