chipSd: Accessor method for 'chipSd' slot in a 'parameterOptions'...

chipSdR Documentation

Accessor method for chipSd slot in a parameterOptions object.

Description

Access or Extract chipSd slot in a parameterOptions object.

Usage

chipSd(object)

Arguments

object

object is a parameterOptions

Details

When computing ChIP-seq like profiles (computeChIPProfile, the occupancy values given by computeOccupancy are transformed into ChIP-seq like profiles. The average size of a ChIP-seq peak was described by Kaplan (Kaplan et al. , 2011). The average peak size is subject to variation. This variation is accounted for with chipSd. It is advised to use the standard deviation of ChIP peak width from actual ChIP-seq data. We strongly encourage to set values when building a parameterOptions object.

Value

Returns a parameterOptions object with an updated value for chipSd.
