Nested Loop Cross Validation

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. For further details about the methodology, please check: Markus Ruschhaupt, Wolfgang Huber, Annemarie Poustka, and Ulrich Mansmann (2004) <doi:10.2202/1544-6115.1078>.
