Estimate a threshold for calling LOH from DH to be used by the *callLOH()
method.
# S3 method for PairedPSCBS
estimateDeltaLOH(this, flavor=c("minC1|nonAB"), ..., max=Inf, verbose=FALSE)
An optional numeric
scale factor.
A character
string specifying which type of
estimator to use.
Additional arguments passed to the estimator.
(Optional) The maxium estimate allowed. If greater than this value, the estimate will be truncated.
See Verbose
.
Returns the threshold estimate as a numeric
scalar or -Inf
.
In case it is not possible to estimate the LOH threshold, then
-Inf
is returned.
Internally, one of the following methods are used:
*estimateDeltaLOHByMinC1ForNonAB()
.
