simpleConsensusCalculation: Simple calculation of a single consenus

Description

This function calculates a single consensus from given individual data.

Usage

simpleConsensusCalculation(
  individualData, 
  consensusOptions, 
  verbose = 1, 
  indent = 0)

Value

A numeric vector or array of the same dimensions as each element of individualData

Arguments

individualData: Individual data from which the consensus is to be calculated. It can be either a list or a multiData structure in which each element is a numeric vector or array.
consensusOptions: A list of class ConsensusOptions that contains options for the consensus calculation. A suitable list can be obtained by calling function newConsensusOptions.
verbose: Integer level of verbosity of diagnostic messages. Zero means silent, higher values make the output progressively more and more verbose.
indent: Indentation for diagnostic messages. Zero means no indentation, each unit adds two spaces.
