#' Human Breast Tumors Data
#' 
#' This data set contains the expression of 1,000 genes in 47 surgical
#' specimens of human breast tumours from 17 different individuals before and
#' after chemotherapy treatment.
#' 
#' This data consists of 47 breast cancer samples and 1753 cDNA clones
#' pre-selected by Perez-Enciso \emph{et al.} (2003) to draw their Fig. 1. The
#' authors selected 47 samples for which there was information at least before
#' or before and after chemotherapy treatment. There were 20 tumours that were
#' microarrayed both before and after treatment. For illustrative purposes we
#' then randomly selected 1000 cDNA clones for this data set.
