### Description

Accessor method for the `maxSignal` slot in a `occupancyProfileParameters` object.

### Usage

    maxSignal(object)

### Arguments

`object` | `object` is a `occupancyProfileParameters` object.

### Details

In the context of `ChIPanalyser`, `maxSignal` represents the maximum normalised ChIP-Seq signal of a given Transcription factor (or DNA binding protein). Although, A default value of 1 has been assigned to this slot, we strongly recommend to tailor this value accordingly. We strongly encourage to set values when building a `occupancyProfileParameters` object.
