dropRegions.AbstractCBS: Drops chromosomal regions (a connected set of segments)

Description

Drops chromosomal regions (a connected set of segments) each of a cetain size (number of segments). None of the statistics are recalculated.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'AbstractCBS':
dropRegions(this, regions, H=1, ..., asMissing=FALSE, verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

regions
An integer vector of length R specifying the indices of the left most segment in each of the R regions to be dropped.
H
A non-negative integer specifying the size of each region, i.e. the number of segments per region.
...
Additional arguments passed to *extractRegions().
asMissing
If TRUE, dropped segments are replaced by missing values, otherwise they are truly dropped.
verbose
A logical or a Verbose object.

Value

  • Returns an AbstractCBS object of the same class with (at most) R*H segments dropped. If some regions overlap (share segments), then fewer than R*H segments are dropped.
