feat2dens: Convert a list of features into a feature density
In ChIPsim: Simulation of ChIP-seq experiments

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) See Also Examples

Given a list of features (as produced by makeFeatures) computes the feature density for each and combines them into a chromosome wide density.

1	feat2dens(features, length, featureBgr = TRUE, ...)

`features`	A list of features.
`length`	Total length of feature density vector (i.e. chromosome length). If this is missing the length is inferred from the feature parameters.
`featureBgr`	Logical indicating whether feature specific background should be added to the density. If this is `TRUE` the resulting density for each feature is a mixture of the feature density and a fuzzy, i.e. uniform, feature density. The weights of the components are determined by the feature weight.
`...`	Further arguments to `featureDensity`.

A vector with the feature density for each position along the chromosome.

The majority of the work is done by calls to featureDensity and joinRegion.

set.seed(1)
## generate a (relatively short) sequence of nucleosome features
features <- placeFeatures(start=200, length=1e5)

## calculate density
featureDens <- feat2dens(features, length=1e5)
