     This package implements a Kolmogorov Smirnov rank-sum based 
     algorithm for training (i.e. discriminant analysis-identification 
     of genes that discriminate between classes) and classification  of
     gene expression data sets.  One of the chief strengths of  this
     approach is that it is amenable to the "multiclass" problem. That
     is, it can discriminate between more than 2 classes.

       Package:  dualKS
       Type:     Package
       Version:  1.0
       Date:     2008-04-18

     Use of this package requires an 'ExpressionSet', pre-processed  to
     your liking, containing gene expression data you wish to train on 
     to identify discriminant genes.  Optionally, a second
     'ExpressionSet' may be employed for subsequent testing or
     "diagnosis".  

     If the 'ExpressionSet' does not contain the appropriate phenoData 
     specifying the classes for each sample, a factor containing this
     information  will also be required. 

     See the examples for further details.
