View source: R/hotspotter.R

Description

Find hotspots of genomic events by using kernel density estimation.

Usage

1
hotspotter(breakpoints, bw, pval = 0.05, spacing.bp = 5000)

Arguments

breakpoints

A list with GRanges-class object containing the coordinates of the genomic events.

bw

Bandwidth used for kernel density estimation (see density).

pval

P-value cutoff for hotspots.

spacing.bp

Spacing of datapoints for KDE in basepairs.

Details

The hotspotter uses density to perform a KDE. A p-value is calculated by comparing the density profile of the genomic events with the density profile of a randomly subsampled set of genomic events (bootstrapping).

Value

A list of GRanges-class objects containing 1) coordinates of hotspots and 2) p-values within the hotspot.
