In KrasnitzLab/CNVMetrics: Copy Number Variant Metrics

CNVMetrics 1.5.1

NEW FEATURES

processSim() method generates simulated samples with copy number profiles derived from a specific sample.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

BUG FIXES

NEW FEATURES

calculateLog2ratioMetric() method enables log2 ratio metric calculation using similar workflow than calculateOverlapRegionsMetric() method.

SIGNIFICANT USER-VISIBLE CHANGES

plotMetric() replaces plotOverlapMetric() method. The new method can plot all metrics (state call metrics and log2 ratio metrics).
Vignette section 'Workflow for metrics calculated using the level of amplification/deletion' is complete.
New citing section in README and vignette refering to published F1000Research poster (http://www.doi.org/10.7490/f1000research.1118704.1).
Instead of calculating distance, log2 ratio metrics are calculated distance-based metrics (1/(1+distance)).
