Description

Estimate global background in segmented copy numbers. The global background, here called \kappa, may have multiple origins where normal contamination is one, but not necessarily the only one.

estimateKappa(this, flavor=c("density(C1)"), ...)

Arguments

flavor	A character string specifying which type of estimator to use.
...	Additional arguments passed to the estimator.
