Dbp.merge: Dbp-merge

In tamartsi/Aclust: Clustering functions and analysis pipeline for methylation outcome data based on clustering and GEEs

Description

Merge all sites on an interval, if the sites at the ends of the interval are “close" to each other

Usage

Dbp.merge(ordr.vec, thresh.dist, bp.thresh.dist, location.vec, dist.type = "spearman")

Arguments

ordr.vec	An (n by m) matrix of n measurements of m random variables (methylations). The columns are ordered.
thresh.dist	A similarity distance threshold. Sites in the interval are merged to a single cluster if the similarity distance between them is above thresh.dist.
bp.thresh.dist	A threshold distance in (e.g.) chromosomal location. Any interval to be potentially merged is smaller or equal to bp.thresh.dist.
location.vec	An m vector specifying the locations (e.g. chromosomal locations) of the variables measured in the matrix ordr.vec.
dist.type	Type of similarity distance function "spearman", "person" or "euclid".

Value

An m vector of cluster assignments of the m ordered variables.
