Vignette of the a4Classif package
2026-04-28
1 Introduction
This document explains the functionalities available in the a4Classif package.
This package contains for classification of Affymetrix microarray
data, stored in an ExpressionSet. This package integrates
within the Automated Affymetrix Array Analysis suite of packages.

## Vignettes contain introductory material; view with
## 'browseVignettes()'. To cite Bioconductor, see
## 'citation("Biobase")', and for packages 'citation("pkgname")'.To demonstrate the functionalities of the package, the
ALL dataset is used. The genes are annotated thanks to the
addGeneInfo utility function of the a4Preproc
package.
