minNumSeqMutationsTune: Parameter tuning for minNumSeqMutations

In shazam: Immunoglobulin Somatic Hypermutation Analysis

Parameter tuning for minNumSeqMutations

Description

minNumSeqMutationsTune helps with picking a threshold value for minNumSeqMutations in createMutabilityMatrix by tabulating the number of 5-mers for which mutability would be computed directly or inferred at various threshold values.

Usage

minNumSeqMutationsTune(mutCount, minNumSeqMutationsRange)

Arguments

mutCount	a vector of length 1024 returned by createMutabilityMatrix with numSeqMutationsOnly=TRUE.
minNumSeqMutationsRange	a number or a vector indicating the value or the range of values of minNumSeqMutations to try.

Details

At a given threshold value of minNumSeqMutations, for a given 5-mer, if the total number of mutations is greater than the threshold, mutability is computed directly. Otherwise, mutability is inferred.

Value

A 2xn matrix, where n is the number of trial values of minNumSeqMutations supplied in minNumSeqMutationsRange. Each column corresponds to a value in minNumSeqMutationsRange. The rows correspond to the number of 5-mers for which mutability would be computed directly ("measured") and inferred ("inferred"), respectively.

# Count the number of mutations in sequences containing each 5-mer

                                   numSeqMutationsOnly=TRUE)

# Tune minNumSeqMutations
