### Position Weight Matrix (PWM) functions
### -------------------------------------------------------------------------

### A Position Weight Matrix (PWM) is represented as an ordinary matrix.
### We don't use an S4 class for this, not even an S3 class.
.normargPwm <- function(pwm, argname="pwm")
{
    if (!is.matrix(pwm) || !is.numeric(pwm))
        stop("'", argname, "' must be a numeric matrix")
    if (!identical(rownames(pwm), DNA_BASES))
        stop("'rownames(", argname, ")' must be the 4 DNA bases ('DNA_BASES')")
    if (!is.double(pwm))
        storage.mode(pwm) <- "double"
    if (any(is.na(pwm)))
        stop("'", argname, "' contains NAs")
    pwm
}

### A Position Frequency Matrix (PFM) is also represented as an ordinary
### matrix. Unlike a PWM, it must be of type integer (it will typically be
### the result of consensusMatrix()).
.normargPfm <- function(x)
{
    if (!is.matrix(x) || !is.integer(x))
        stop("invalid PFM 'x': not an integer matrix")
    ## Check the row names.
    if (is.null(rownames(x)))
        stop("invalid PFM 'x': no row names")
    if (!all(rownames(x) %in% DNA_ALPHABET))
        stop("invalid PFM 'x': row names must be in 'DNA_ALPHABET'")
    if (!all(DNA_BASES %in% rownames(x)))
        stop("invalid PFM 'x': row names must contain A, C, G and T")
    if (any(duplicated(rownames(x))))
        stop("invalid PFM 'x': duplicated row names")
    ## Check the nb of cols.
    if (ncol(x) == 0L)
        stop("invalid PFM 'x': no columns")
    ## Check the values.
    if (any(is.na(x)) || any(x < 0L))
        stop("invalid PFM 'x': values cannot be NA or negative")
    if (any(x[!(rownames(x) %in% DNA_BASES), ] != 0L))
        stop("invalid PFM 'x': IUPAC ambiguity letters are represented")
    x <- x[DNA_BASES, , drop=FALSE]
    if (!isConstant(colSums(x)))
        stop("invalid PFM 'x': all columns in 'x' must sum to the same ",
             "value.\n  If the PFM was obtained by calling consensusMatrix() ",
             "on a DNAStringSet\n  object, please make sure that this object ",
             "is rectangular (i.e. has a\n  constant width).")
    x
}

### Typical 'prior.params' vector: c(A=0.25, C=0.25, G=0.25, T=0.25)
.normargPriorParams <- function(prior.params)
{
    if (!is.numeric(prior.params))
        stop("'prior.params' must be a numeric vector")
    if (length(prior.params) != length(DNA_BASES) ||
        !setequal(names(prior.params), DNA_BASES))
        stop("'prior.params' elements must be named A, C, G and T")
    ## Re-order the elements.
    prior.params <- prior.params[DNA_BASES]
    if (any(is.na(prior.params)) || any(prior.params < 0))
        stop("'prior.params' contains NAs and/or negative values")
    prior.params
}

### Some utilities to operate on a PWM.
###

### Extracts the max weight for each position (i.e. column) in a PWM.
setGeneric("maxWeights", function(x) standardGeneric("maxWeights"))

setMethod("maxWeights", "matrix",
    function(x)
    {
        x <- .normargPwm(x, argname="x")
        #sapply(seq_len(ncol(x)), function(i) max(x[ , i]))
        ## This will be faster than the above on large matrices
        do.call(pmax, lapply(seq_len(nrow(x)), function(i) x[i, ]))
    })

### Extracts the min weight for each position (i.e. column) in a PWM.
setGeneric("minWeights", function(x) standardGeneric("minWeights"))

setMethod("minWeights", "matrix",
    function(x)
    {
        x <- .normargPwm(x, argname="x")
        #sapply(seq_len(ncol(x)), function(i) max(x[ , i]))
        ## This will be faster than the above on large matrices
        do.call(pmin, lapply(seq_len(nrow(x)), function(i) x[i, ]))
    })

### Computes the highest possible score that can be obtained with a PWM.
setGeneric("maxScore", function(x) standardGeneric("maxScore"))
setMethod("maxScore", "ANY", function(x) sum(maxWeights(x)))

### Computes the lowest possible score that can be obtained with a PWM.
setGeneric("minScore", function(x) standardGeneric("minScore"))
setMethod("minScore", "ANY", function(x) sum(minWeights(x)))

### TODO: There is no reason to treat this differently than the above
### utilities. So either this should be implemented as a generic+method
### or the above utilities should be implemented as ordinary functions.
unitScale <- function(x)
{
    minS <- minScore(x)
    (x - minS/ncol(x)) / (maxScore(x) - minS)
}

### Method needed for searching the minus strand of a chromosome like
### this:
###   > matchPWM(reverseComplement(pwm), chr1)
### Note that the generic function is defined in Biostrings.
setMethod("reverseComplement", "matrix",
    function(x, ...)
    {
        ans <- rev(x)
        attributes(ans) <- attributes(x)
