findPlateau: Find the best choice of segmentation parameter.
In MPAgenomics: Multi-Patient Analysis of Genomic Markers

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s)

From the results of a segmentation of a signal for different values of a segmentation parameter rho, this function will search an optimal value of rho corresponding to the biggest plateau (stabilization in the number of breakpoints).

1	findPlateau(resSeg, Rho, plot = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

`resSeg`	a list, each element of the list is a vector with the breakpoints for a value of Rho.
`Rho`	vector with the values of Rho.
`plot`	if TRUE, some graphics will be plotted.
`verbose`	if TRUE print some informations.

a list containing:

rho: Optimal parameter found.
maxPlateau: A vector with the first and the last position of the biggest plateau.
plateau: A matrix of 3 columns, each row corresponds to a different plateau. The first colum is the starting value of a plateau, the second, the length of the plateau and the third, the number of values of rho contained in the plateau.
