Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

Decompose a matrix of 96 substitution classes into n signatures.

extractSignatures(
  mat,
  n = NULL,
  plotBestFitRes = FALSE,
  parallel = 4,
  pConstant = NULL
)

`mat`	Input matrix of diemnsion nx96 generated by `trinucleotideMatrix`
`n`	decompose matrix into n signatures. Default NULL. Tries to predict best value for `n` by running NMF on a range of values and chooses based on cophenetic correlation coefficient.
`plotBestFitRes`	plots consensus heatmap for range of values tried. Default FALSE
`parallel`	Default 4. Number of cores to use.
`pConstant`	A small positive value to add to the matrix. Use it ONLY if the functions throws an `non-conformable arrays` error

This function decomposes a non-negative matrix into n signatures.

a list with decomposed scaled signatures, signature contributions in each sample and NMF object.
