#' Define equally sized binding sites from peak calling results and iCLIP
#' crosslink events.
#'
#' This function performs the merging of single nucleotide crosslink sites into
#' binding sites of a user defined width (\code{bsSize}). Depending on the
#' desired output width crosslink sites with a distance closer than
#' \code{bsSize} -1 are concatenated. Initially all input regions are
#' concatenated and then imperatively merged and extended. Concatenated regions
#' smaller than \code{minWidth} are removed prior to the merge and extension
#' routine. This prevents outlier crosslink pileup, eg. mapping artifacts
#' to be integrated into the final binding sites. All remaining regions are
#' further processed and regions larger than the desired output width are
#' interactively split up by setting always the position with the highest
#' number of crosslinks as center. Regions smaller than the desired width are
#' symmetrically extended. Resulting binding sites are then filtered by the
#' defined constraints.
#'
#' The \code{bsSize} argument defines the final output width of the merged
#' binding sites. It has to be an odd number, to ensure that a binding site
#' has a distinct center.
#'
#' The \code{minWidth} parameter is used to describe the minimum width a ranges
#' has to be after the initial concatenation step. For example:
#' Consider bsSize = 9 and minWidth = 3. Then all initial crosslink sites that
#' are closer to each other than 8 nucleotides (bsSize -1) will be concatenated.
#' Any of these ranges with less than 3 nucleotides of width will be removed,
#' which reflects about 1/3 of the desired binding site width.
#'
#' The argument \code{minCrosslinks} defines how many positions of the binding
#' sites are covered with at least one crosslink event. This threshold has to
#' be defined in conjunction with the binding site width. A default value of 3
#' with a binding site width of 9 means that 1/3 of all positions in the final
#' binding site must be covered by a crosslink event. Setting this filter to 0
#' deactivates it.
#'
#' The \code{minClSites} argument defines how many positions of the binding site
#' must have been covered by the original crosslink site input. If the input was
#' based on the single nucleotide crosslink positions computed by PureCLIP than
#' this filter checks for the number of positions originally identified by
#' PureCLIP in the computed binding sites. The default of \code{minClSites} = 1
#' essentially deactivates this filter. Setting this filter to 0 deactivates it.
#'
#' The options \code{centerIsClSite} and \code{centerIsSummit} ensure that the
#' center of each binding site is covered by an initial crosslink site and
#' represents the summit of crosslink events in the binding site, respectively.
#'
#' The option \code{sub.chr} allows to run the binding site merging on a
#' smaller subset (eg. "chr1") for improoved computational speed when testing
#' the effect of various binding site width and filtering options.
#'
#' @param object a BSFDataSet object (see \code{\link{BSFDataSet}})
#' @param bsSize an odd integer value specifying the size of the output
#' binding sites
#' @param minWidth the minimum size of regions that are subjected to the
#' iterative merging routine, after the initial region concatenation.
#' @param minCrosslinks the minimal number of positions to overlap with at least
#' one crosslink event in the final binding sites
#' @param minClSites the minimal number of crosslink sites that have to
#' overlap a final binding site
#' @param centerIsClSite logical, whether the center of a final binding
#' site must be covered by an initial crosslink site
#' @param centerIsSummit logical, whether the center of a final binding
#' site must exhibit the highest number of crosslink events
#' @param sub.chr chromosome identifier (eg, chr1, chr2) used for subsetting the
#' BSFDataSet object. This option can be used for testing different
#' parameter options
#' @param quiet logical, whether to print info messages
