## Microarray data set for breast cancer

### Description

et al's paper. It concerns one hundred thirty-three patients with stage I–III breast cancer. Patients were treated with chemotherapy prior to surgery. Patient response to the treatment can be classified as either a pathologic complete response (pCR) or residual disease (not-pCR). Hess et al developed and tested a reliable multigene predictor for treatment response on this data set, composed by a set of 26 genes having a high predictive value.

### Usage

data(cancer)


### Format

a list of two objects: dataframe with 133 observations of 26 features and factors indicating whether each sample (out of 133) is of type "not" or type "pcr"

### Details

The dataset splits into 2 parts (pCR and not pCR), on which network inference algorithms should be applied independently or in the multitask framework: only individuals from the same classes should be consider as independent and identically distributed.
