#' @title Predicts gestational age using placental DNA methylation microarray 
#' data
#'
#' @description \code{predictAge} Multiplies the coefficients from one of three 
#' epigenetic gestational age clocks, by the corresponding CpGs in a supplied 
#' betas `data.frame`.
#' 
#' @details Predicts gestational age using one of 3 placental gestational age
#' clocks: RPC, CPC, or refined RPC. Requires placental DNA methylation measured
#' on the Infinium 27K/450k/EPIC methylation array. Ensure as many predictive
#' CpGs are present in your data, otherwise accuracy may be impacted.
#'
#' It's recommended that you have all predictive CpGs, otherwise accuracy may
#' vary.
#' 
#' @param betas An n by m dataframe of methylation values on the beta scale (0,
#' 1), where the CpGs are arranged in rows, and samples in columns. Should
#' contain all CpGs used in each clock
#' @param type One of the following: "RPC" (Robust), "CPC", (Control) or "RRPC"
#' (Refined Robust).
#' @return A vector of length `m`, containing inferred gestational age.
