## Gene expression, annotations and clinical data from van de Vijver et al. 2002

### Description

This dataset contains (part of) the gene expression, annotations and clinical data as published in van de Vijver et al. 2002.

### Usage

    data(nkis)

### Format

`nkis` is a dataset containing three matrices:

data.nkis

  Matrix containing gene expressions as measured by Agilent technology (dual-channel, oligonucleotides

annot.nkis

  Matrix containing annotations of Agilent microarray platform

demo.nkis

  Clinical information of the breast cancer patients whose tumors were hybridized

### Details

This dataset represent only partially the one published by van de Vijver et al. in 2008. Indeed, only part of the patients (150) and gene expressions (922) are contained in `data.nkis`.
