Not the best but still good

Some of the software commands in this book are already outdated, esp. in bioconductor. If you need to analyze a microarray data and you do not know much about the algorithms, this book gives an overview what is available. To get more insights about the theory, can check out EXPLORATORY AND ANALYSIS OF DNA MICROARRAY AND PROTEIN ARRAY or the research papers published by the authors. There is no one best method for analyzing microarray data, so don't expect a miracle from this book or any others.
