PCC.elimination: PCC Exploratory Methods: Elimination of Over-Conflicting Variant Locations

Description

This function removes from the database the variant locations labelled as over-conflicting by the PCC.overconflicting function.

Usage

PCC.elimination(x)

Arguments

x

an object of class pccOverconflicting.

Value

A numeric matrix, with witnesses in columns, variant locations in rows, and readings coded by a number, from which over-conflicting variant locations have been removed.

Details

When PCC.overconflicting has been applied to a PCC.conflicts object, it returns a table where over-conflicting variants are labeled as such. The PCC.elimination function simply removes those variants.
