getDiffMeth(stateInfo, rateDiff, minRate, propInherite, c = 1, b = -0.1,
  endLength = 1000)

Arguments

stateInfo

a GRanges that contains the CpG (or methylated sites). The GRanges have four metadata from the real dataset:

  • chrOri, the chromosome from the real dataset

  • startOri, the position of the site in the real dataset

  • meanCTRL, the mean of the control in the real dataset

  • varCTRL, the variance of the control in the real dataset

rateDiff

a positive double inferior to 1, the mean of the chance that a site is differentially methylated.

minRate

a non-negative double inferior to 1, the minimum rate for differentially methylated sites.

propInherite

a non-negative double inferior or equal to 1, the proportion of differentially methylated regions that are inherated.

c

a positive double, a factor in the formula to compute the probabylity of site to be diffentially methylated in a differentially methylated region. The probability formula of site in differentially methylated region is c * exp(b * log(distance with the preceding sites)) Default: 1.0.

b

a negative double, a factor in the formula to compute the probabylity of site to be diffentially methylated in a differentially methylated region. The probability formula of site in differentially methylated region is c * exp(b * log(distance with the preceding sites)). Default: -1e-01.

endLength

a positive integer, when the distance with the preceding sites in a differentially methylated region is larger than endLength, the differentially methylated region is finished. Default: 1000.

Value

a list containing the 2 following elements:
