Hi, I would like to add a new method to the genefinder function in addition to method="correlation". Can someone tell me how to introduce this code?

Hi Lana, Not sure what you mean by 'introduce' the code. If you just want to add something for your own use, the easiest way is to download the tarball, introduce your changes, and then build/install the package. However 'easiest' does not mean easy. This function is S4, and the package has a namespace, and the actual work is done using C code, so this would not be a trivial thing to do. Changes would likely have to be made in the function gf_distance, which is in nd.c in the src directory of the genefilter package. This is in addition to the changes to the R code that calls gf_distance. If instead you want to contribute code, then the best thing to do is to download the subversion sources for genefilter, make your changes, and then send a diff based patch to Bioc-devel for consideration.
