estimateTransDist {methimpute} | R Documentation

## `transDist` parameter

### Description

Obtain an estimate for the `transDist` parameter (used in function `callMethylation`) by fitting an exponential function to the supplied correlations (from `distanceCorrelation`).

### Usage

    estimateTransDist(distcor, skip = 2, plot.parameters = TRUE)

### Arguments

`distcor` | The output produced by `distanceCorrelation`.
`skip` | Skip the first n cytosines for the fitting. This can be necessary to avoid periodicity artifacts due to the context definition.
`plot.parameters` | Whether to plot fitted parameters on to the plot or not.

### Value

A list() with fitted `transDist` parameters and the corresponding `ggplot`.

### Examples

    ## Get some toy data
    file <- system.file("data","arabidopsis_toydata.RData",
                        package="methimpute")
    data <- get(load(file))
    distcor <- distanceCorrelation(data)
    fit <- estimateTransDist(distcor)
    print(fit)
