meanDistance: Mean Distance

In regioneR: Association analysis of genomic regions based on permutation tests

Description

Computes the mean distance of regions in A to the nearest element in B

Usage

meanDistance(A, B, ...)

Arguments

A	a region set in any of the accepted formats by toGRanges (GenomicRanges, data.frame, etc...)
B	a region set in any of the accepted formats by toGRanges (GenomicRanges, data.frame, etc...)
...	any additional parameter needed

Value

The mean of the distances of each region in A to the nearest region in B.

Note

If a region in A is in a chromosome where no B region is, it will be ignored and removed from the mean computation.

Examples

A <- data.frame("chr1", c(1, 10, 20, 30), c(12, 13, 28, 40))

B <- data.frame("chr1", 25, 35)

meanDistance(A, B)
