### Examples

    # create ExpressionSet object from kidney dataset
    library(splines)
    data(kidney)
    age <- kidney$age
    sex <- kidney$sex
    kidexpr <- kidney$kidexpr
    cov <- data.frame(sex = sex, age = age)

    # create models
    null.model <- ~sex
    full.model <- ~sex + ns(age, df=4)

    # create deSet object from data
    de_obj <- build_models(data = kidexpr, cov = cov, null.model = null.model,
    full.model = full.model)
