Identifies epimutations using Robust Mahalanobis distance

Description

This function identifies regions with CpGs being outliers using the Minimum Covariance Determinant (MCD) estimator (covMcd) to compute the Mahalanobis distance.

Usage

epi_mahdist(mixture, nsamp = c("best", "exact", "deterministic"))

Arguments

mixture

beta values matrix. Samples in columns and CpGs in rows.

nsamp

the number of subsets used for initial estimates in the MCD. It can be set as: "best", "exact", or "deterministic".

Details

The implementation of the method here is based on the discussion in this thread of Cross Validated

Value

The function returns the computed Robust Mahalanobis distance.
