High dimensional flow cytometry data. This data file contains a matrix with 100,000 rows and 23 columns that represents a flow cytometry sample with 100,000 events. It can be directly loaded in R and analyzed by SamSPECTRAL. It takes less than 12 minutes to perform faithful sampling on this 23 dimensional data.
