Estimate global background in segmented copy numbers. The global background, here called \(\kappa\), may have multiple origins where normal contamination is one, but not necessarily the only one.
# S3 method for PairedPSCBS
estimateKappa(this, flavor=c("density(C1)"), ...)
Returns the background estimate as a numeric
scalar.
A character
string specifying which type of
estimator to use.
Additional arguments passed to the estimator.
