Estimate a threshold for calling LOH from DH to be used by the *callLOH()
method.
# S3 method for PairedPSCBS
estimateDeltaLOH(this, flavor=c("minC1|nonAB"), ..., max=Inf, verbose=FALSE)
Returns the threshold estimate as a numeric
scalar or -Inf
.
In case it is not possible to estimate the LOH threshold, then
-Inf
is returned.
A character
string specifying which type of
estimator to use.
Additional arguments passed to the estimator.
(Optional) The maximum estimate allowed. If greater than this value, the estimate will be truncated.
