BackRatesMB

Background rates for somatic mutations used in the
  Parsons et al. 2011 medulloblastoma (MB) 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.

BackRatesMB function

The background rates for somatic mutations used in the
  Parsons et al. MB study,
  broken down by mutation type.
  The object is a data frame which has a single row,
  with the variables representing the 25 different mutation types.
