Nested loop cross validation for classification purposes for misclassification error rate estimation.
The package supports several methodologies for feature selection: random forest, Student t-test, limma,
and provides an interface to the following classification methods in the 'MLInterfaces' package: linear,
quadratic discriminant analyses, random forest, bagging, prediction analysis for microarray, generalized
linear model, support vector machine (svm and ksvm). Visualizations to assess the quality of
the classifier are included: plot of the ranks of the features, scores plot for a specific
classification algorithm and number of features, misclassification rate
for the different number of features and classification algorithms tested and ROC plot.
