Thanks Tom, Sean, Xavier for the reply, and especially Adai!
However I still have a problem. To put the microarray data into these
supervised clustering, the expreSet need to be built. To build
expreSet, you need to give the class of every sample. So when I
predict samples with unknown classes, how to put them into the
expreSet? Thank you!

testwithout known categories
If algorithm 1 predicts "Yes", "Yes", "No", "No" for 4 samples and
algorithm 2 predicts "Yes", "No", "Yes", "No", how do you know which
one
is the better algorithm ? So you use tests set with known classes to
do
this. You can do this by breaking your learning set (samples with know
classes) into training and test set. Look up "cross validation".
Some example of built in cross validation
* knn.cv() is a leave one out cross-validation of knn()
* svm() in library(e1071) has an argument named 'cross' for cross
validation
In practice, I prefer to write my own wrapper for cross-validation to
ensure that sampling method is the same across all algorithms.
Once you have determined the best algorithm and features, you then use
predict() to predict samples with unknown classes.
Regards, Adai.
