Configurable function for solving families of nonlinear
equations
This function is designed for use with an arbitrary set of equations with
an arbitrary set of unknowns.
The user selects "fixed" values for enough unknowns to leave as many variables as
there are equations, which in most cases means the system is properly
defined and a unique solution exists. The function, the fixed values
and initial values for the remaining unknowns are fed to a nonlinear backsolver.
The original version of "TK!Solver" was the inspiration for this function.

k-Top Scoring Pairs for Microarray Classification
These functions compute the k best pairs of genes used to classify samples based on the relative rank of the genes expression within each profile. A score based on the sensitivity and the specificity is calculated for every possible pair. The k pairs with the highest score will be selected with the restriction that a gene can appear in at most one pair. The value of k is either set as a parameter chosen by the user or computed through crossvalidation. Other functions related to the k-TSP are also available, for example the functions prediction, summary, plot, etc. can be found in the package.
