In messina: Single-gene classifiers and outlier-resistant detection of differential expression for two-group and survival problems

#' @name tcga_kirc_example
#' @title Example TCGA KIRC RNAseq expression and survival data
#' @description A small subset of the TCGA KIRC (kidney renal clear cell carcinoma) expression and
#'   survival data, for use as an example for messinaSurv.
#' @docType data
#' @usage tcga_kirc_example
#' @format a \code{matrix} of RNAseq (TCGA platform "illuminahiseq_rnaseqv2") expression estimates kirc.exprs,
#'   with genes in rows and patients in columns; and a \code{Surv} object kirc.surv, giving patient survival
#'   times and status.
#' @source TCGA, downloaded on 16 Jan 2014, and only a small random subset of genes retained, to reduce size.
#' @author Mark Pinese, 20 March 2014.
