     The data are from Golub et al. These are the combined training
     samples and test samples. There are 47 patients  with acute
     lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and 25 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.
