Hi all, I have this microarray large microarray data set (ALL) from which I would like to subset or extract a set of data based on a factor ($mol.biol). I looked up some example of subsetting in, picked up two commands and tried both but I got error messages as follows
> testset <- subset(ALL, ALL$mol.biol %in% c("BCR/ABL","ALL1/AF4")) >> Error in c("BCR/ABL", "ALL1/AF4") : unused argument(s) ("ALL1/AF4") > testset <- ALL[ALL$mol.biol %in% c("BCR/ABL,NEG"), ] >> Error in ALL[ALL$mol.biol %in% c(BCR/ABL, NEG), ] : > >> error in evaluating the argument 'i' in selecting a method for function >> '[': Error in c(BCR/ABL, NEG) : unused argument(s) (NEG) At this point, I really appreciate any inputs to move forward. …. > str(ALL) > Formal class 'ExpressionSet' [package "Biobase"] with 7 slots > ..@ experimentData :Formal class 'MIAME' [package "Biobase"] with 13 slots > .. .. ..@ name : chr "Chiaretti et al." > .. .. ..@ lab : chr "Department of Medical Oncology, > Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's > Hospital, Harvard Med"| __truncated__ > .. .. ..@ contact : chr "" > .. .. ..@ title : chr "Gene expression profile of adult T-cell > acute lymphocytic leukemia identifies distinct subsets of patients with > different respo"| __truncated__ > .. .. ..@ abstract : chr "Gene expression profiles were examined in > 33 adult patients with T-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia (T-ALL).
