Entering data into a multi-way array?
You might want to describe how your data is kept now so we can help with the loading process, but in general, 4D arrays are loaded with the same basic principles as 2D arrays (matrices). If you are new to this kind of work in R, it sounds like you might want to check out the Bioconductor lists for specifically microbiology/genetics questions.

Hello: I am a novice R user, but I have been working my way through the manuals / tutorials, ... ?I have R / Deducer up and running, and know the basics. I want to analyze a microarray (gene expression) dataset. I need to input the data into R as a multidimensional (multi-way) array, something on the order of 15,000 x 3 x 8 x 2 ?[genes x replicates x time points x treatments] I've Google'd, etc. to find the solution, but I cannot find an answer. ?I am being led to the idea (I suspect) that I may need to use a RDBMS (like MySQL) for that purpose (section 4 in http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-data.html)? If so, that is my next challenge! Any replies much appreciated!
