categorize_islandGlbSt {MethEvolSIM} | R Documentation |
Categorize Global States of CpG Islands
Description
This function categorizes CpG islands into unmethylated, methylated, or partially methylated states based on specified thresholds.
Usage
categorize_islandGlbSt(meanMeth_islands, u_threshold, m_threshold)
Arguments
meanMeth_islands |
A numeric vector containing the mean methylation levels for CpG islands at each tip. |
u_threshold |
A numeric value (0-1) defining the threshold for categorization as unmethylated. |
m_threshold |
A numeric value (0-1) defining the threshold for categorization as methylated. |
Details
The function assigns each island a state:
- "u"
if mean methylation lower or equal than
u_threshold
- "m"
if mean methylation greater or equal than
m_threshold
- "p"
if mean methylation is in between
Value
A character vector of length equal to meanMeth_islands
, containing "u", "p", or "m" for each island.
Examples
meanMeth_islands <- c(0.1, 0.4, 0.8)
categorize_islandGlbSt(meanMeth_islands, 0.2, 0.8)
