In special cases (like here) the LASSO estimator can be calculated analytically and is then called 'soft threshold' estimator.} \section{Methods}{ The input (gene expression and class labels) can be given in three different ways: \describe{ \item{x = "matrix", y = "numeric"}{signature 1} \item{x = "matrix", y = "factor"}{signature 2} \item{x = "ExpressionSet", y = "character"}{signature 3} } For further argument and output information, consult \link{RankingSoftthresholdT}. } \keyword{univar}
