Mode of the Density Kernel

Description

Calculate the mode of the density kernel function

Usage

getDensityKernelMode(v)

Arguments

v

numeric vector of values, typically gene or oligo expression abundance

Details

This function is used in RMA normalization to estimate the amount of non-specific hybridization on a microarray.

Value

a numeric value on length 1, representing the most frequent value in the distribution of v.

Note

Uses the 'epanechnikov' kernel. See density.
