R Documentation
Prune the CBS profile by dropping change points that are too small
Description
Prune the CBS profile by dropping change points that are too small, where "too small" means that the amplitude of the
change points is less than a multiple of the overall standard deviation
of the copy-number signals.
Usage
## S3 method for class 'CBS'
pruneBySdUndo(fit, rho=3, sigma="DNAcopy", ..., verbose=FALSE)
Arguments
fit
A CBS object.
rho
A positive double scalar specifying the number of standard
deviations (rho*sigma) required in order to keep a change point.
More change points are dropped the greater this value is.
sigma
The whole-genome standard deviation of the locus-level
copy number signals. The default is to calculate it from the data
and as done in the DNAcopy package.
...
(Optional) Additional arguments passed to the standard
deviation estimator function.
verbose
See Verbose.
Details
This method corresponds to using the undo argument when calling
segmentByCBS(), which in turn corresponds to using the
undo.splits="sdundo" and undo.SD of the underlying
segment method.
