R: 'transDist' parameter

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)
