cBSDMC-method: cBSDMC method

In DMCFB: Differentially Methylated Cytosines via a Bayesian Functional Approach

Description

Creates a BSDMC-class object

Usage

cBSDMC(
  methReads,
  totalReads,
  methLevels,
  rowRanges,
  colData = DataFrame(row.names = colnames(methReads)),
  metadata = list(),
  ...
)

## S4 method for signature 'matrix,matrix,matrix,GRanges'
cBSDMC(
  methReads,
  totalReads,
  methLevels,
  rowRanges,
  colData = DataFrame(row.names = colnames(methReads)),
  metadata = list(),
  ...
)

Arguments

methReads	The matrix methReads contains the number of methylated reads spanning a CpG-site. The rows represent the CpG sites in rowRanges and the columns represent the samples in colData.
totalReads	The matrix totalReads contains the number of reads spanning a CpG-site. The rows represent the CpG sites in rowRanges and the columns represent the samples in colData.
methLevels	The matrix methLevels contains the predicted methylation level spanning a CpG-site using Bayesian functional regression models. The rows represent the CpG sites in rowRanges and the columns represent the samples in colData.
rowRanges	A GRanges or GRangesList object describing the ranges of interest. Names, if present, become the row names of the SummarizedExperiment object. The length of the GRanges or GRangesList must equal the number of rows of the matrices in assays. If rowRanges is missing, a SummarizedExperiment instance is returned.
colData	Object of class 'DataFrame' containing information on variable values of the samples
metadata	A list of storing MCMC samples or DMCs
...	other possible parameters

Details

The rows of a BSDMC object represent ranges (in genomic coordinates) of interest. The ranges of interest are described by a GRanges or a GRangesList object, accessible using the rowRanges function. The GRanges and GRangesList classes contains sequence (e.g., chromosome) name, genomic coordinates, and strand information. Each range can be annotated with additional data; this data might be used to describe the range or to summarize results (e.g., statistics of differential abundance) relevant to the range. Rows may or may not have row names; they often will not.

Value

A BSDMC-class

Examples

set.seed(1980)
nr <- 150
nc <- 8
metht <- matrix(as.integer(runif(nr * nc, 0, 100)), nr)
methc <- matrix(rbinom(n = nr * nc, c(metht), prob = runif(nr * nc)), nr, nc)
meths <- matrix(as.integer(runif(nr * nc, 0, 10)), nr)
methl <- methc / metht
methv <- matrix((runif(nr * nc, 0.1, 0.5)), nr)
r1 <- GRanges(rep("chr1", nr), IRanges(1:nr, width = 1), strand = "*")
names(r1) <- 1:nr
cd1 <- DataFrame(
  Group = rep(c("G1", "G2"), each = nc / 2),
  row.names = LETTERS[1:nc]
)
OBJ2 <- cBSDMC(
  rowRanges = r1, methReads = methc, totalReads = metht,
  methLevels = methl, methStates = meths, methVars = methv, colData = cd1
)
OBJ2
