Sample Locus Specific Amplification Efficiency (LSAE) according to prior

Description

Sample Locus Specific Amplification Efficiency (LSAE) according to prior

Usage

sample_LSAE(LSAE_variance, locus_names)

Arguments

LSAE_variance	Numeric. See gf_configuration for an example.
locus_names	Character vector.

Details

In the Bright et al. log normal model, the expected peak height includes a multiplicative factor for the locus (marker). These factors are called the LSAEs (Locus Specific Amplification Efficiencies). In the model, the prior for the log10 of LSAE is normal with mean 0. The variance can be specified.

Value

Named numeric with LSAEs for each locus (names).

Examples

gf <- gf_configuration()
lsae <- sample_LSAE(LSAE_variance = gf$log_normal_settings$LSAE_variance_prior,
                     locus_names = gf$autosomal_markers)

# the barplot shows that some loci amplify better than others
barplot(lsae, las=2)
