2. Delimited File Format

The delimited File Format is a common format for the microarray experiment. It can be extracted from most microarray experiment by using any spreadsheet. The format of training and testing data file is:

<label>                <label>               <label>                ...
<value1>             <value2>             <value3>             ...
<value1>             <value2>             <value3>             ...
<value1>             <value2>             <value3>             ...
.
.

<label> is the target value of the training data. For classification, it should be an integer which identifies a class (multi-class classification is supported). For regression, it's any real number. For one-class SVM, it's not used so can be any number. <value> is a real number. The indices must be in an ascending order. The labels in the testing data file are only used to calculate accuracy or error. If they are unknown, just fill this column with a number.
