%FLOWCYTO Load 4 flow-cytometry datasets.
%
%   A = FLOWCYTO(N)
%
% These datasets are based on 612 FL3-A DNA flowcytometer histograms
% from breast cancer tissues in 256 resolution. The initial data have been 
% acquired by M. Nap and N. van Rodijnen of the Atrium Medical Center in 
% Heerlen, The Netherlands, during 2000-2004, using tubes 3-6 of a DACO 
% Galaxy flowcytometer (N = 1-4). Histograms are labeled in 3 classes: 
% aneuploid (335 patients), diploid (131) and tetraploid (146). The first
% and the last bin (1 and 256) are set to 0, as they contsin noise. After
% that histograms are normalized (sum to one) resulting in a dataset with
% 254 features.
% 
% The four datasets are aligned for the same patients, but are based on
% different measurements.
