\name{HeatmapMethods} \alias{HeatmapMethods} \title{Heatmap of genes and ranking procedures} \description{ Cluster genes and ranking procedures simultanesously based on a data matrix of ranks whose columns correspond to ranking procedures and whose rows correspond to genes. The main goal is to compare different ranking procedures and to examine whether there are big differences among them. Up to now, the (totally unweighted) euclidean metric and complete-linkage clustering is used to generate the trees. It should be mentionned that this method only fulfills an exploratory task. } \usage{ HeatmapMethods(Rlist, ind = 1:100) } \arguments{ \item{Rlist}{A list of objects of class \link{GeneRanking} or \link{AggregatedRanking}.} \item{ind}{A vector of gene indices whose ranks are used to generate the heatmap. The number of elements should not be too large (not greater than 500) due high time and memory requirements.} } \value{A heatmap (plot).} \references{Gentleman, R., Carey, V.J, Huber, W., Irizarry, R.A, Dudoit, S.
