  1. In this example, we consider the goodness ranking of two genes in a dataset with 100 patients and 3 classes of cancer sub-types. The expression values of the genes were discretized into 4 ranges R1, R2, R3 and R4. There are 4 patients in class C1 with expression values of gene #1 in the range R3, 88 patients in class C2 with expression values of gene #1 in the range R2, and so on.
