BackRatesColon

Background rates for somatic mutations used in the
  colon cancer portion of the Wood et al. 2007 study.

datasets

This package implements gene and gene-set level analysis
methods for somatic mutation studies of cancer.  The gene-level
methods distinguish between driver genes (which play an active
role in tumorigenesis) and passenger genes (which are mutated
in tumor samples, but have no role in tumorigenesis) and
incorporate a two-stage study design.  The gene-set methods
implement a patient-oriented approach, which calculates
gene-set scores for each sample, then combines them across
samples; a gene-oriented approach which uses the Wilcoxon test
is also provided for comparison.

BackRatesColon function

The background rates for somatic mutations used in the
  colon cancer portion of the Wood et al. study,
  broken down by mutation type.
  The object is a data frame,
  with the variables representing the 25 different mutation types,
  and the rows specifying whether the estimates of the
  backgrond rates are "Lower," "Median," or "Upper," as well
  as whether or not the rates are separately estimated for
  the prevalence screen (denoted by "SepPrev").
