The main goal is to compare different ranking procedures and to examine whether there are differences among them. Up to now, the Euclidean metric and complete-linkage clustering is used to generate the trees.} \usage{ HeatmapRankings(RR, ind=1:100) } \arguments{ \item{RR}{An object of class \link{RepeatedRanking}, usually generated from a call to \link{MergeMethods}.} \item{ind}{A vector of gene indices whose ranks are used to generate the heatmap. The number of elements should not be too large (not greater than 500) due to high time- and memory requirements.} } \value{A heatmap (plot).} \references{Gentleman, R., Carey, V.J., Huber, W., Irizarry, R.A., Dudoit, S.
