Tutorial 6: Conclusion

Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned about the SLAM™ algorithm and how to use it to select a small set of genes (features) that can be used to train a committee of artificial neural networks (ANNs) to predict the classes of new samples. For further information, please see ANN Classification and Prediction Overview.

When you are finished, you can close all the open plots either by clicking on the 'x' box in the upper-right hand corner of each, or by selecting Close All from the Window menu.
