## SSP2003 classifier for identification of breast cancer molecular subtypes (Sorlie et al 2003)

### Description

List of parameters defining the SSP2003 classifier for identification of breast cancer molecular subtypes (Sorlie et al 2003).

### Usage

    data(ssp2003)
    data(ssp2003.scale)
    data(ssp2003.robust)

### Format

List of parameters for SSP2003:

`centroids`

  Gene expression centroids for each subtype.

`centroids.map`

  Mapping for centroids.

`method.cor`

  Method of correlation used to compute distance to the centroids.

`method.centroids`

  Method used to compute the centroids.

`std`

  Method of standardization for gene expressions.

`mins`

  Minimum number of samples within each cluster allowed during the fitting of the model.

### Details

Three versions of the model are provided, each of ones differs by the gene expressions standardization method since it has an important impact on the subtype classification:

`ssp2003`

  Use of the official centroids without scaling of the gene expressions.

`ssp2003.scale`

  Use of the official centroids with traditional scaling of the gene expressions (see `scale`).

`ssp2003.robust`

  Use of the official centroids with robust scaling of the gene expressions (see `rescale`).

The model `ssp2003.robust` has been shown to reach the best concordance with the traditional clinical parameters (ER IHC, HER2 IHC/FISH and histological grade). However the use of this model is recommended only when the dataset is representative of a global population of breast cancer patients (no sampling bias, the 5 subtypes should be present).
