#' MethPed: a DNA methylation classifier tool for the identification of pediatric brain tumor subtypes.
#' @usage MethPed(data, TargetID="TargetID", prob = TRUE,...)
#' @description The current version of MethPed can classify the following tumor diagnoses/subgroups:
#' Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG),
#' Ependymoma,
#' Embryonal tumors with multilayered rosettes (ETMR),
#' Glioblastoma (GBM),
#' Medulloblastoma (MB) - Group 3 (MB_Gr3),
#' Group 4 (MB_Gr3),
#' Group WNT (MB_WNT),
#' Group SHH (MB_SHH) and
#' Pilocytic Astrocytoma (PiloAstro).
#' @param data Data for classification. Data can be in class "ExpressionSet", "matrix" or "data.frame". See MethPed vignette for details.
#' @param TargetID Name of the "Probe" column in data
#' @param prob If 'TRUE' (Default value), the return value will be conditional probability from which tumor
#' group the sample belongs to. 'FALSE' will only return value for the tumor group which has the maximum
#' conditional probability for a sample and other non-maximum values will be zero.
#' @param ... More parameter to add
#' @details Classification of pediatric tumors into biologically defined subtypes is challenging,
#' and multifaceted approaches are needed. For this aim, we developed a diagnostic classifier
#' based on DNA methylation profiles. We offer MethPed as an easy-to-use toolbox that allows
#' researchers and clinical diagnosticians to test single samples as well as large cohorts
#' for subclass prediction of pediatric brain tumors.
#'
#' The MethPed classifier uses the Random Forest (RF) algorithm to classify unknown pediatric
#' brain tumor samples into sub-types. The classification proceeds with the selection of the
#' beta values needed for the classification.
#'
#' The computational process proceeded in two stages. The first stage commences with a reduction
#' of the probe pool or building the training probe dataset for classification. We have named this
#' dataset as “predictors”. The second stage is to apply the RF algorithm to classify the probe data
#' of interest based on the training probe dataset (predictors).
#'
#' For the construction of the training probe pool (predictors), methylation data generated by the
#' Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation 450 BeadChip arrays were downloaded from the Gene Expression
#' Omnibus (GEO). Four hundred seventy-two cases were available, representing several brain tumor
#' diagnoses (DIPG, glioblastoma, ETMR, medulloblastoma, ependymoma, pilocytic astrocytoma) and their
#' further subgroups.
#'
#' The data sets were merged and probes that did not appear in all data sets were filtered away. In addition,
#' about 190,000 CpGs were removed due to SNPs, repeats and multiple mapping sites. The final data set
#' contained 206,823 unique probes and nine tumor classes including the medulloblastoma subgroups. K–neighbor
#' imputation was used for missing probe data.
#'
#' After that, a large number of regression analyses were performed to select the 100 probes per tumor class
#' that had the highest predictive power (AUC values). Based on the identified 900 methylation sites, the nine
#' pediatric brain tumor types could be accurately classified using the multiclass classification algorithm MethPed.
#' @return The output of the algorithm is partitioned in 6 parts :
#' \describe{
#'            \item{"$target_id"}{ Probes name in main data set }
#'            \item{"$probes"}{ Number of probes}
#'            \item{"$sample"}{ Number of samples}
#'            \item{"$probes_missing"}{ Names of the probes that were included in the original classifier
#'                                      but are missing from the data at hand.}
#'            \item{$oob_err.rate}{ If a large number of probes are missing this could potentially lead to a drop
#'                          in the predictive accuracy of the model. Note that, the out-of-bag error is 1.7
#'                          percent of the original MethPed classifier.}
#'            \item{$predictions}{ The last and most interesting output contains the predictions. We chose not to
#'                          assign tumors to one or other group but give probabilities of belonging in
#'                          one or other subtype. See vignette for details.}
