InitXi: Preprocessing - Initialize matrix of latent states

In iBATCGH: Integrative Bayesian Analysis of Transcriptomic and CGH Data

Description

This function takes a matrix of CGH data as the only argument and returns a crude estimate of the corresponding latent copy number states.

Usage

InitXi(X, bounds = c(-0.5, 0.29, 0.79))

Arguments

X	Matrix of aCGH data
bounds	Vector of threshold used to estimate the latent states

Details

Given as argument a vector of threshold bounds the function simply applies the thresholding to the data and groups them into four subsets. Each subset is associated to a specific latent state.

Value

Return a matrix of estimated latent states, that could be used as input of the main function.
