A non-BioC question:
Does anyone know of an authoritative implementation of the van 't Veer
et al (2002) breast cancer metastasis classifier?
There seem to be different interpretations in the literature, in some
places (e.g., van de Vijver 2002, Tibshirani & Efron 2002, Mansmann et
al2006) it's described as classifying each sample according to whether
the correlation with the centroid of good prognosis cases is above some
threshold, and in others the classification is the class with the
centroid that has highest correlation with the sample (which is how I
interpret van 't Veer 2002).
Thanks,
Gad
