ktspair: k-Top Scoring Pairs for Microarray Classification

These functions compute the k best pairs of genes used to classify samples based on the relative rank of the genes expression within each profile. A score based on the sensitivity and the specificity is calculated for every possible pair. The k pairs with the highest score will be selected with the restriction that a gene can appear in at most one pair. The value of k is either set as a parameter chosen by the user or computed through crossvalidation. Other functions related to the k-TSP are also available, for example the functions prediction, summary, plot, etc. can be found in the package.
