LoadBackgroundErrorRate: function LoadBackgroundErrorRate

In PlasmaMutationDetector: Tumor Mutation Detection in Plasma

Description

This function will load the background error rates created from the controls using the function BuildCtrlErrorRate

Usage

LoadBackgroundErrorRate(pos_ranges.file, ber.ctrl.file, n.trim)

Arguments

pos_ranges.file,	char, name of the Rdata file containing the three variables pos_ind, pos_snp, pos_ranges as build by the function PrepareLibrary. Default NULL, use the position_ranges.rda provides that we used for our analysis.
ber.ctrl.file,	char, pathname of the file providing the background error rates obtained from the controls (default NULL use the provided background error rates obtained from our 29 controls). See background_error_rate.txt data and BuildCtrlErrorRate function.
n.trim,	integer, number of base positions trimmed at the ends of each amplicon (default 8)

Value

the adapted background error rate
