A subset of the TCGA lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) gene expression dataset. It contains the first 50 primary tumor samples, pre-processed to log2(TPM + 1) values. This dataset is used for code examples and the package vignette.

Usage

data(TCGA_LUSC)

Format

A numeric matrix with 22,962 rows (genes) and 50 columns (samples):

rownames

Official gene symbols (e.g., TP53, KRAS).

colnames

TCGA sample barcodes (e.g., TCGA-XX-XXXX-01A).

Details

The original TPM values were normalized and then log2-transformed using log2(x + 1) to stabilize variance. The subset was created by selecting the first 22,962 rows and 50 columns from the full processed matrix to keep the package size small. All samples correspond to primary tumor tissue (sample type code '01').

Because the data are already log2-transformed, they will pass the internal log2 check in classifyHNSC() and will not be re-transformed.
