methObservables:
Generation of intermediate values in likelihood estimation for methylation
data.
Description
Estimating prior and posterior values for methylation data that
account for non-conversion rates is a time-consuming
process. Significant increases in speed can be made by calculating in
advance sets of data that will be re-used at several points of these
analyses. This function populates the '@cellObservables' slot of a
`countData' object that contains a `nonconversion' object in the
`@sampleObservables' slot.
Arguments
mD
A countData
object, or descendant, which contains a
numeric vector 'nonconversion' in the `@sampleObservables' slot.
Value
A countData
object with the '@cellObservables' slot
populated with temporary values useful in the faster calculation of likelihoods.
