fitBmea: Fit the BMEA model for a large number of units

In steveped/BMEA: Bayesian Modelling for Exon Arrays

Description

Fit a large number of units in batches using the BMEA model

Usage

fitBmea(celSet, bgCelSet, units = NULL, batchSize = 2^4, conditions,
  contMatrix, ..., verbose = 0)

Arguments

celSet	the celSet which is being processed
bgCelSet	a list with components lambda & delta. Each component must be a celSet containing the information for the background signal priors
units	the units to be processed
batchSize	the number of units to process before writing to disk. Defaults to 16 (2^4)
conditions	a vector of factors
contMatrix	the contrasts
...	used for passing arguments to fitBmeaBatch, writeBmeaBatch & runMCMC.BMEA
verbose	controls the level of detail to be displayed whilst the process is running

Details

This is the high-level function which fits the specified units in batches, as determined by batchSize. Each batch of units (i.e. genes) is fitted, then the parameters written to disk. Generally writing to disk can be a bottleneck when it comes to processing time, so a wise choice for batchSize can impact on the speed of the process.

Value

NULL
