This feature smooths the HMM matrix \(H\) by using sliding window of length \(sw\) to incorporate information
from up and downstream residues into each row of the HMM matrix. Each HMM row \(r_i\) is made into the summation
of \(r_{i-(sw/2)}+... r_i...+r_{i+(sw/2)}\), for \(i = 1:L\), where \(L\) is the number of rows in \(H\).
For rows such as the beginning and ending rows, \(0\) matrices of dimensions \(sw/2, 20\) are appended to the
original matrix \(H\).
Usage
hmm_smooth(hmm, sw = 7)
Value
A matrix of dimensions L \(\times\) 20.
Arguments
hmm
The name of a profile hidden markov model file.
sw
The size of the sliding window.
