In schalkwyk/wateRmelon: Illumina 450 and EPIC methylation array normalization and metrics

# LS 27 Jul 2012



#' SNP derived performance metrics for Illumina 450K DNA methylation arrays.
#' 
#' A very simple genotype calling by one-dimensional K-means clustering is
#' performed on each SNP, and for those SNPs where there are three genotypes,
#' the squared deviations are summed for each genotype (similar to a standard
#' deviation for each of allele A homozygote, heterozygote and allele B
#' homozygote).  By default these are further divided by the square root of the
#' number of samples to get a standard error-like statistic.
#' 
#' There are 65
#' well-behaved SNP genotyping probes included on the array.  These each
#' produce a distribution of betas with tight peaks for the three possible
#' genotypes, which will be broadened by technical variation between samples.
#' The spread of the peaks is thus usable as a performance metric.
#' 
#' @param bn a matrix of beta values(default method), a \code{MethyLumiSet}
#' object (\code{methylumi} package), a \code{MethylSet} or \code{RGChannelSet}
#' object (\code{minfi} package) or a \code{exprmethy450} object (\code{IMA}
#' package).
#' @param g vector of SNP names
#' @param se TRUE or FALSE specifies whether to calculate the standard
#' error-like statistic
#' @return  a vector of 3 values for the dispersion of the three
#' genotype peaks (AA, AB, BB : low, medium and high beta values)
