htrain: Train the smoothing parameter (neighborhood size).

In hicrep: Measuring the reproducibility of Hi-C data

Description

Train the smoothing parameter (neighborhood size).

Usage

htrain(R1, R2, resol, max, range)

Arguments

R1	A Hi-C intra-chromosome matrix.
R2	The other intra-chromosome matrix to compare with.
resol	An integer indicating the resolution of the Hi-C matrix.
max	An integer indicating the maximum distance of interaction that is considered.
range	A vector of consecutive integers from which the optimal smoothing parameter is searched, starting from zero (i.g., 0:10).

Details

A fraction (10%) of data are first randomly sampled, then the scc for the sampled data is computed at a series of smoothing parameterts in the ascending order. The samllest h at which the increment of scc is less than 0.01 is saved. This procedure is repeat 10 times, and the mode of the 10 h's is outputed as the estimated optimal neighborhood size.

Value

a integer estimated to be the optimal smoothing parameter.
