## Function to compute the risk scores of the tamoxifen resistance signature (TAMR13)

### Description

This function computes signature scores from gene expression values following the algorithm used for the Tamoxifen Resistance signature (TAMR13).

### Usage

    tamr13(data, annot, do.mapping = FALSE, mapping, verbose = FALSE)

### Arguments

`data` | Matrix of gene expressions with samples in rows and probes in columns, dimnames being properly defined.
`annot` | Matrix of annotations with at least one column named "EntrezGene.ID", dimnames being properly defined.
`do.mapping` | `TRUE` if the mapping through Entrez Gene ids must be performed (in case of ambiguities, the most variant probe is kept for each gene), `FALSE` otherwise.
`mapping` | Matrix with columns "EntrezGene.ID" and "probe" used to force the mapping such that the probes are not selected based on their variance.
`verbose` | `TRUE` to print informative messages, `FALSE` otherwise.

### Value

`score` | Continuous signature scores
`risk` | Binary risk classification, `1` being high risk and `0` being low risk (not implemented, the function will return NA values).
