This package serves as a quick introduction to the application of some machine learning concepts to next generation sequencing data, which you will find outlined in the MLplay vignette. THE MLplay VIGNETTE IS CURRENTLY INCOMPLETE Editing up through to the end of the "Kernels (and the dual of the SVM)" section is almost complete, so you can work you way through that. I initially put this together for one of the tutorials to be presented at the Advanced R/Bioconductor Workshop on High-Throughput Genetic Analysis, 2012: https://secure.bioconductor.org/SeattleFeb12/ The vignette used during the presentation is found in inst/doc/MLplay.Rnw Accept where otherwise noted, the contents of this package are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike (v3.0) license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ If you have any questions, comments, or improvement suggestions, feel free to contact me.
