#' Perform joint loess normalization on two Hi-C datasets
#'
#' @export
#' @param hic.table hic.table or a list of hic.tables generated from
#' the create.hic.table function.
#' list of hic.tables generated from the create.hic.table function.
#' If you want to perform
#' normalization over multiple chromosomes from each cell line at
#' once utilizing parallel computing enter a list of hic.tables and
#' set parallel = TRUE.
#' @param degree Degree of polynomial to be used for loess. Options
#' are 0, 1, 2. The default setting is degree = 1.
#' @param span User set span for loess. If set to NA, the span will
#' be selected automatically using the setting of loess.criterion.
#' Defaults to NA so that
#' automatic span selection is performed.
#' @param loess.criterion Automatic span selection criterion. Can use either
#' 'gcv' for generalized cross-validation or 'aicc' for Akaike Information
#' Criterion.
#' Span selection uses a slightly modified version of the \code{loess.as()}
#' function from the \code{fANCOVA} package. Defaults to 'gcv'.
#' @param Plot Logical, should the MD plot showing before/after loess
#' normalization be output? Defaults to FALSE.
#' @param parallel Logical, set to TRUE to utilize the \code{parallel} package's
#' parallelized computing. Only works on unix operating systems. Only useful if
#' entering a list of hic.tables. Defauts to FALSE.
#' @param BP_param Parameters for BiocParallel. Defaults to bpparam(), see help
#' for BiocParallel for more information
#' \url{http://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/BiocParallel/
#' inst/doc/Introduction_To_BiocParallel.pdf}
#' @param check.differences Logical, should difference detection be performed? If TRUE,
#' the same procedure as hic_diff will be performed. If FALSE,
#' only normalization will be performed on the entered data. Defaults to FALSE.
#' @param diff.thresh Fold change threshold desired to call a detected difference
#' clinically significant. Set to "auto" by default to indicate that the
#' difference threshold will be automatically calculated as 2 standard deviations
#' of all the adjusted M values. For no p-value adjustment
#' set diff.thresh = NA. To set your own threshold enter a numeric value i.e.
#' diff.thresh = 1. If set to "auto" or a numeric value, a check will
#' be made as follows: if permutation p-value < 0.05 AND M < diff.thresh (the log2
#' fold change for the difference between IF1 and IF2) then
#' the p-value will be set to 0.5. Defaults to 'auto'.
#' @param iterations Number of iterations for the permuation test. Will only be used
#' if check.differences set to TRUE. Defaults to 10000.
#'
#' @details The function takes in a hic.table or a list of hic.table objects created
#' with the \code{create.hic.loess} function. If you wish to perform joint
#' normalization on Hi-C data for multiple chromosomes use a list of hic.tables.
#' The process can be parallelized using the \code{parallel}
#' setting. The data is fist transformed into what is termed an MD plot (similar
#' to the MA plot/Bland-Altman plot). M is the log difference log2(x/y) between
#' the two datasets. D is the unit distance in the contact matrix. The MD plot can
#' be visualized with the \code{Plot} option. Loess regression is then
#' performed on the MD plot to model any biases between the two Hi-C datasets. An
#' adjusted IF is then calculated for each dataset along with an adjusted M.
#' See methods section of Stansfield & Dozmorov 2017 for more details. Note:
#' if you receive the warning "In simpleLoess(y, x, w, span, degree = degree,
#' parametric = parametric, ... :pseudoinverse used..." it should not effect
#' your results, however it can be avoided by manually setting the span to
#' a larger value using the span option.
#'
#'
#' @return An updated hic.table is returned with the additional columns of adj.IF1,
#' adj.IF2 for the respective normalized IFs, an adj.M column for the
#' adjusted M, and mc for the loess correction factor. If \code{check.differences}
#' is set to TRUE a column containing the p-values for the
#' significance of the difference between the two datasets will also be returned.
