[BioC] Best options for cross validation machine learning

[Daniel Brewer]

Hello,

I have a microarray dataset which I have performed an unsupervised
Bayesian clustering algorithm on which divides the samples into four
groups.  What I would like to do is:
1) Pick a group of genes that best predict which group a sample belongs to.
2) Determine how stable these prediction sets are through some sort of
cross-validation (I would prefer not to divide my set into a training
and test set for stage one)

These steps fall into the supervised machine learning realm which I am
not familiar with and googling around the options seem endless.  I was
wondering whether anyone could suggest reasonable well-established
algorithms to use for both steps.

Many thanks

Dan
