estimateRho {deepSNV} | R Documentation

## Helper function for estimating the dispersion factor rho

### Description

It uses a method of moments approximation to estimate rho from the variances of the relative frequencies nu across samples

### Usage

    estimateRho(x, mu, ix, pseudo.rho = .Machine$double.eps)

### Arguments

`x` | counts
`mu` | relative frequency across all samples
`ix` | index indicating the set of samples to use (typically indicating those with relative frequency smaller than 0.1).
`pseudo.rho` | a pseudo count added to each sample to avoid problems with zeros. Default = .Machine$double.eps

### Value

rho

### Note

Experimental code, subject to changes
