_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     'discretize' returns the discretized expression data for all
     chromosomes in chrom and all samples that have a label listed in
     label. Discretization is performed by comparing the value genewise
     (locationwise) with the symmetric  upper and lower quantile given
     by margin (in percent margin/2 lower and upper quantile).

_U_s_a_g_e:

     discretize(data, chrom, label, margin = 10)
     discretizeChromosome(data, chrom, margin=10)
     discretizeOne(data, chrom, sample, margin=10)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

    data: MACATData object 

   chrom: list of chromosomes 

   label: list of labels 

  margin: symmetric quantile in percent 

  sample: the sample for which you want discretized expression data 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     returns a discretized expression matrix for all genes on the
     chromosomes in 'chrom' and all samples that have a label in
     'label'.
