#' High resolution sample inference from amplicon data.
#' 
#' The dada function takes as input dereplicated amplicon sequencing reads and returns the inferred composition
#'  of the sample (or samples). Put another way, dada removes all sequencing errors to reveal the members of the
#'  sequenced community.
#'  
#' If dada is run in selfConsist=TRUE mode, the algorithm will infer both the sample composition and
#'  the parameters of its error model from the data.
#'  
#' @param derep (Required). \code{character} or \code{\link{derep-class}}.
#'  The file path(s) to the fastq file(s), or a directory containing fastq file(s) corresponding to the
#'  the samples to be denoised. Compressed file formats such as .fastq.gz and .fastq.bz2 are supported.
#'  A \code{\link{derep-class}} object (or list thereof) returned by \code{link{derepFastq}} can also be provided.
#'  If multiple samples are provided, each will be denoised with a shared error model.
#'  
#' @param err (Required). 16xN numeric matrix, or an object coercible by \code{\link{getErrors}} 
#'  such as the output of the \code{\link{learnErrors}} function.
#'    
#'  The matrix of estimated rates for each possible nucleotide transition (from sample nucleotide to read nucleotide).
#'  Rows correspond to the 16 possible transitions (t_ij) indexed such that 1:A->A, 2:A->C, ..., 16:T->T
#'  Columns correspond to quality scores. Each entry must be between 0 and 1.
#'    
#'  Typically there are 41 columns for the quality scores 0-40.
#'  However, if USE_QUALS=FALSE, the matrix must have only one column.
#'    
#'  If selfConsist = TRUE, \code{err} can be set to NULL and an initial error matrix will be estimated from the data
#'  by assuming that all reads are errors away from one true sequence.
#'    
#' @param errorEstimationFunction (Optional). Function. Default \code{\link{loessErrfun}}.
#' 
#'  If USE_QUALS = TRUE, \code{errorEstimationFunction(dada()$trans_out)} is computed after sample inference, 
#'    and the return value is used as the new estimate of the err matrix in $err_out.
#'    
#'  If USE_QUALS = FALSE, this argument is ignored, and transition rates are estimated by maximum likelihood (t_ij = n_ij/n_i).
#'  
#' @param selfConsist (Optional). \code{logical(1)}. Default FALSE.
#' 
#'  If selfConsist = TRUE, the algorithm will alternate between sample inference and error rate estimation 
#'    until convergence. Error rate estimation is performed by \code{errorEstimationFunction}.
#'    
#'  If selfConsist=FALSE the algorithm performs one round of sample inference based on the provided \code{err} matrix.
#'   
#' @param pool (Optional). \code{logical(1)}. Default is FALSE.
#' 
#'  If pool = TRUE, the algorithm will pool together all samples prior to sample inference.
#'  If pool = FALSE, sample inference is performed on each sample individually.
#'  If pool = "pseudo", the algorithm will perform pseudo-pooling between individually processed samples.
#'  
#'  This argument has no effect if only 1 sample is provided, and \code{pool} does not affect
#'   error rates, which are always estimated from pooled observations across samples.
#'   
#' @param priors (Optional). \code{character}. Default is character(0), i.e. no prior sequences.
#'  
#' The priors argument provides a set of sequences for which there is prior information suggesting they may
#'  truly exist, i.e. are not errors. The abundance p-value of dereplicated sequences that exactly match one
#'  of the priors are calculated without conditioning on presence, allowing singletons to be detected,
#'  and are compared to a reduced threshold `OMEGA_P` when forming new partitions.
#'   
#' @param multithread (Optional). Default is FALSE.
#'  If TRUE, multithreading is enabled and the number of available threads is automatically determined.   
#'  If an integer is provided, the number of threads to use is set by passing the argument on to
#'  \code{\link{setThreadOptions}}.
#'   
#' @param verbose (Optional). Default TRUE. 
#'  Print verbose text output. More fine-grained control is available by providing an integer argument.
#' \itemize{ 
#'  \item{0: Silence. No text output (same as FALSE). }
#'  \item{1: Basic text output (same as TRUE). }
#'  \item{2: Detailed text output, mostly intended for debugging. }
#' }
#'  
#' @param ... (Optional). All dada_opts can be passed in as arguments to the dada() function.
#'  See \code{\link{setDadaOpt}} for a full list and description of these options. 
#'
#' @return A \code{\link{dada-class}} object or list of such objects if a list of dereps was provided. 
#'   
#' @details
#' 
#' Briefly, \code{dada} implements a statistical test for the notion that a specific sequence was seen too many times
#'  to have been caused by amplicon errors from currently inferred sample sequences. Overly-abundant
#'  sequences are used as the seeds of new partitions of sequencing reads, and the final set of partitions
#'  is taken to represent the denoised composition of the sample. A more detailed explanation of the algorithm
#'  is found in two publications:
#' 
#' \itemize{ 
#'  \item{Callahan BJ, McMurdie PJ, Rosen MJ, Han AW, Johnson AJ, Holmes SP (2016). DADA2: High resolution sample inference from Illumina amplicon data. Nature Methods, 13(7), 581-3.}
#'  \item{Rosen MJ, Callahan BJ, Fisher DS, Holmes SP (2012). Denoising PCR-amplified metagenome data. BMC bioinformatics, 13(1), 283.}
#' }
#'  
#' \code{dada} depends on a parametric error model of substitutions. Thus the quality of its sample inference is affected
#'  by the accuracy of the estimated error rates. \code{selfConsist} mode allows these error rates to be inferred 
#'  from the data.
#'  
#' All comparisons between sequences performed by \code{dada} depend on pairwise alignments. This step is the most 
#'  computationally intensive part of the algorithm, and two alignment heuristics have been implemented for speed:
#'  A kmer-distance screen and banded Needleman-Wunsch alignmemt. See \code{\link{setDadaOpt}}.

#' Set DADA options
#'
#' setDadaOpt sets the default options used by the dada(...) function for your current session, much
#'  like \code{par} sets the session default plotting parameters. However, all dada options can be set as
#'  part of the dada(...) function call itself by including a DADA_OPTION_NAME=VALUE argument.
#'
#' @param ... (Required). The DADA options to set, along with their new value.
#'  
#' @return NULL.  
#'  
#' @details
#' 
#' **Sensitivity**
#' 
#' OMEGA_A: This parameter sets the threshold for when DADA2 calls unique sequences significantly overabundant, and therefore creates a
#'  new partition with that sequence as the center. Default is 1e-40, which is a conservative setting to avoid making false
#'  positive inferences, but which comes at the cost of reducing the ability to identify some rare variants.
#' 
#' OMEGA_P: The threshold for unique sequences with prior evidence of existence (see `priors` argument). Default is 1e-4.
#' 
#' OMEGA_C: The threshold at which unique sequences inferred to contain errors are corrected in the final output. 
#' The probability that each unique sequence
#'  is generated at its observed abundance from the center of its final partition is evaluated, and compared to OMEGA_C. If that
#'  probability is >= OMEGA_C, it is "corrected", i.e. replaced by the partition center sequence. The special value of 0 corresponds
#'  to correcting all input sequences, and any value > 1 corresponds to performing no correction on sequences found to contain
#'  errors. Default is 1e-40 (same as OMEGA_A).
#' 
#' DETECT_SINGLETONS: If set to TRUE, this removes the requirement for at least two reads with the same sequences to exist
#'  in order for a new ASV to be detected. It also somewhat increases sensitivity to other low abundance sequences as well, 
#'  e.g. those present in just 2/3/4/... reads. Note, this applies to all unique sequences, not just those supported by
#'  prior evidence (see `priors` argument), and so it does make false-positive detections more likely.
#' 
#' **Alignment**
#' 
#' MATCH: The score of a match in the Needleman-Wunsch alignment. Default is 4.
#'  
#' MISMATCH: The score of a mismatch in the Needleman-Wunsch alignment. Default is -5.
#'  
#' GAP_PENALTY: The cost of gaps in the Needleman-Wunsch alignment. Default is -8.
#'  
#' HOMOPOLYMER_GAP_PENALTY: The cost of gaps in homopolymer regions (>=3 repeated bases). Default is NULL, which causes homopolymer
#'  gaps to be treated as normal gaps.  
#'  
#' BAND_SIZE: When set, banded Needleman-Wunsch alignments are performed. Banding restricts the net cumulative number of insertion
#'  of one sequence relative to the other. The default value of BAND_SIZE is 16. If DADA is applied to sequencing technologies with 
#'  high rates of indels, such as 454 sequencing, the BAND_SIZE parameter should be increased. Setting BAND_SIZE to a negative number
#'  turns off banding (i.e. full Needleman-Wunsch).
#' 
#' **Sequence Comparison Heuristics**
#' 
#' USE_KMERS: If TRUE, a 5-mer distance screen is performed prior to performing each pairwise alignment, and if the 5mer-distance
#'  is greater than KDIST_CUTOFF, no alignment is performed. Default is TRUE.
#' 
#' KDIST_CUTOFF: The default value of 0.42 was chosen to screen pairs of sequences that differ by >10\%, and was
#'  calibrated on Illumina sequenced 16S amplicon data. The assumption is that sequences that differ by such a large
#'  amount cannot be linked by amplicon errors (i.e. if you sequence one, you won't get a read of other) and so
#'  careful (and costly) alignment is unnecessary.
#' 
#' GAPLESS: If TRUE, the ordered kmer identity between pairs of sequences is compared to their unordered
#'  overlap. If equal, the optimal alignment is assumed to be gapless. Default is TRUE.
#'  Only relevant if USE_KMERS is TRUE.
#' 
#' GREEDY: The DADA2 algorithm is not greedy, but a very restricted form of greediness can be turned
#'  on via this option. If TRUE, unique sequences with reads less than those expected to be generated
#'  by resequencing just the central unique in their partition are "locked" to that partition.
#'  Modest (~30\%) speedup, and almost no impact on output. Default is TRUE.
#' 
#' **New Partition Conditions**
#' 
#' MIN_FOLD: The minimum fold-overabundance for sequences to form new partitions. Default value is 1, which means this
#'  criteria is ignored.
#'  
#' MIN_HAMMING: The minimum hamming-separation for sequences to form new partitions. Default value is 1, which means this
#'  criteria is ignored.
#'
#' MIN_ABUNDANCE: The minimum abundance for unique sequences form new partitions. Default value is 1, which means this
#'  criteria is ignored.
#'
#' MAX_CLUST: The maximum number of partitions. Once this many partitions have been created, the algorithm terminates regardless
#'  of whether the statistical model suggests more real sequence variants exist. If set to 0 this argument is ignored. Default
#'  value is 0.
#'
#' **Self Consistency**
#' 
#' MAX_CONSIST: The maximum number of steps when selfConsist=TRUE. If convergence is not reached in MAX_CONSIST steps,
#'  the algorithm will terminate with a warning message. Default value is 10.
#'  
#' **Pseudo-pooling Behavior**
#'  
#' PSEUDO_PREVALENCE: When performing pseudo-pooling, all sequence variants found in at least this many
#'  samples are used as priors for a subsequent round of sample inference. 
#'  Only relevant if `pool="pseudo"`. Default is 2.
#' 
#' PSEUDO_ABUNDANCE: When performing pseudo-pooling, all denoised sequence variants with total
#'  abundance (over all samples) greater than this are used as priors for a subsequent round 
#'  of sample inference.
#'  Only relevant if `pool="pseudo"`. Default is Inf (i.e. abundance ignored for this purpose).
#' 
#' **Error Model**
#' 
#' USE_QUALS: If TRUE, the dada(...) error model takes into account the consensus quality score of the dereplicated unique sequences.
#'  If FALSE, quality scores are ignored. Default is TRUE.
#' 
#' **Technical**
#' 
#' SSE: Controls the level of explicit SSE vectorization for kmer calculations. Default 2. Maintained for development reasons,
#'    should have no impact on output.   
#'      
#' \itemize{ 
#'  \item{0: No explicit vectorization (but modern compilers will auto-vectorize the code).}
#'  \item{1: Explicit SSE2. }
#'  \item{2: Explicit, packed SSE2 using 8-bit integers. Slightly faster than SSE=1. }
