## spillover method
## ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
#' Compute a spillover matrix from a flowSet
#' 
#' Spillover information for a particular experiment is often obtained by
#' running several tubes of beads or cells stained with a single color that can
#' then be used to determine a spillover matrix for use with
#' \code{\link{compensate}}.\cr\cr
#' When matching stain channels in \code{x} with the compensation controls, we
#' provide a few options. If \code{ordered}, we assume the ordering of the
#' channels in the flowSet object is the same as the ordering of the
#' compensation-control samples. If \code{regexpr}, we use a regular expression
#' to match the channel names with the names of each of the compensation control
#' \code{flowFrame}s (that is, \code{sampleNames(x)}, which will typically be the 
#' filenames passed to \code{\link{read.FCS}}).
#' By default, we must "guess" based on the largest statistic for the
#' compensation control (i.e., the row).\cr\cr
#' Additionally, matching of channels to compensation control files can
#' be accomplished using the \code{\link{spillover_match}} method, which allows
#' the matches to be specified using a csv file. The \link{flowSet} returned
#' by the \code{spillover_match} method should then be used as the \code{x} argument
#' to \code{spillover} with \code{prematched = TRUE}.
#' 
#' 
#' The algorithm used is fairly simple. First, using the scatter parameters, we
#' restrict ourselves to the most closely clustered population to reduce the
#' amount of debris. The selected statistic is then calculated on all
#' appropriate parameters and the unstained values swept out of the matrix.
#' Every sample is then normalized to [0,1] with respect to the maximum value
#' of the sample, giving the spillover in terms of a proportion of the primary
#' channel intensity.
#' @name spillover-flowSet
#' @aliases spillover spillover,flowSet-method
#' 
#' @param x A flowSet of compensation beads or cells
#' @param unstained The name or index of the unstained negative control
#' @param patt An optional regular expression defining which parameters should
#' be considered
#' @param fsc The name or index of the forward scatter parameter
#' @param ssc The name or index of the side scatter parameter
#' @param method The statistic to use for calculation. Traditionally, this has
#' been the median so it is the default. The mean is sometimes more stable.
#' @param stain_match Determines how the stain channels are matched with the
#' compensation controls. See details.
#' @param useNormFilt logical Indicating whether to apply a
#' \code{\link[flowStats]{norm2Filter}} first before computing the spillover
#' @param prematched a convenience argument specifying if the channels
#' have already been matched by spillover_match. This will override the
#' values of unstained and stain_match with unstained = "unstained" and
#' stain_match = "regexpr".
#' @param exact_match a \code{logical} specifying if we should use "regex" or "exact match" to match column names. 
#' The spillover_ng will pass exact_match and "regexpr" method will be over-ridden.

#' @return A matrix for each of the parameters

#' Construct a \code{flowSet} for use with \code{spillover} by matching channel

#' Spillover information for a particular experiment is often obtained by
#' running several tubes of beads or cells stained with a single color that can

#' This method facilitates construction of a \code{flowSet} of compensation
#' control \code{flowFrame}s using a simple file linking filenames to channels.
#' This resulting \code{flowSet} can then be used with \code{\link{spillover}}
#' using the option \code{prematched = TRUE}.\cr\cr
#' Matching stain channels to compensation controls is done via a csv
#' file (\code{matchfile}) with columns 'filename' and 'channel'. The 'channel' entries should
#' exactly match the channel names in the FCS files. The 'filename' should be
#' the FCS file name of each compensation control which should also be the
#' corresponding sample name in the \code{flowSet}. There should also be one unstained
#' control with the 'channel' entry of 'unstained'.\cr\cr
#' The method also allows for \code{x} to be missing if \code{path} is provided,
#' pointing to a directory containing the control FCS files.\cr\cr

## spillover_ng method: Simplified spillover API. Uses a matching file.
## -------------------------------------------------------------------------
#' Compute a spillover matrix from a \code{flowSet}, simplified API
#' 
#' Spillover information for a particular experiment is often obtained by
#' running several tubes of beads or cells stained with a single color that can
#' then be used to determine a spillover matrix for use with
#' \code{\link{compensate}}.\cr\cr
#' Matching stain channels to compensation controls is done via a matching csv
#' file (at the path given by \code{matchfile}) with columns 'filename' and 'channel'. 
#' The 'channel' entries should exactly match the channel names in the FCS files. 
#' The 'filename' should be the FCS file name of each compensation control which 
#' should also be the corresponding sample name in the \code{flowSet}. 
#' There should also be one unstained control with the 'channel' entry of 'unstained'.\cr\cr
#' The method also allows for \code{x} to be missing if \code{path} is provided,
#' pointing to a directory containing the control FCS files.\cr\cr
#' By default, pregating is always done on the channels using this API, and the 
#' mode of the channel is used to compute the spillover matrix. FSC and SSC channels 
#' can be provided to allow a pregating on (approximately) a population in the FSC and
#' SSC dimensions. Also by default, a \code{\link{norm2Filter}} is applied before
#' computing the spillover. These defaults can be overridden using the \code{pregate},
#' \code{method}, and \code{useNormFilt} arguments.
#' 
#' 
#' The algorithm used is fairly simple. First, using the scatter parameters, we
#' restrict ourselves to the most closely clustered population to reduce the
#' amount of debris. The selected statistic is then calculated on all
#' appropriate parameters and the unstained values swept out of the matrix.
#' Every sample is then normalized to [0,1] with respect to the maximum value
#' of the sample, giving the spillover in terms of a proportion of the primary
#' channel intensity.

#' @param x A flowSet of compensation beads or cells
#' @param fsc The name or index of the forward scatter parameter
#' @param ssc The name or index of the side scatter parameter
#' @param plot logical. Plots the kernel density for each channel when
#' pregating. Displays the gate used. If \code{pregate} is set to \code{FALSE},
#' this argument is ignored.
#' @param matchfile Name of the csv file holding the compensation control file
#' to channel matching information.
#' @param method The statistic to use for calculation. Traditionally, this has
#' been the median so it is the default. The mean is sometimes more stable.
#' @param path A path to a directory containing the control files, to be used 
#' if \code{x} is not provided.
#' @param pregate logical Indicating whether to pregate using \code{link{rangeGate}}
#' before computing the spillover
#' @param useNormFilt logical Indicating whether to apply a
#' \code{\link{norm2Filter}} first before computing the spillover
#' @param patt An optional regular expression defining which parameters should
#' be considered
#' @param \dots Additional arguments passed to
#' \code{\link[flowStats]{rangeGate}}.
#'
