It is a function that takes the LRR obtained from SNP array data and returns the estimated tumor and normal proportions. Currently, the function can performs the proportion estimations by assuming the number of tumor clones to be 1 or 2 or 3. The normalization step is not required and the normalization constant will be returned by this function. The function will output two sets of solutions corresponding to the top 2 optimal solutions based on the posterior distribution. You can choose according to your expertise the one that is more reasonable.

Usage

est_mixture(BAF, LRR, chr, x, GT, seg_raw = "NA", num_tumor = 1)

Arguments

BAF

a numeric vector containing the B Allele Frequency for the sample, corresponding to the location (chr, x).

LRR

a numveric vector containing the Log R ratio for the sample, corresponding to the location (chr, x). In practice, the LRR values you include should be the raw LRR output devided by 0.55.

chr

a factor vector containing the chromosome.

x

a numeric vector containing the location on the chromosome, measured by base pair.

GT

a factor vector containing the genotype. Possible values are "AA", "AB", "BB" and NA.

seg_raw

Optional. A dataframe containing the segmentaiton results. If not supplied, function segmentByPairedPSCBS from package PSCBS will be used to obtain the segmentation. You can also use the segmentByPairedPSCBS function to preprocess your data set and obtain the segmentation results and use that and the input. (On examples about how to obtain the segmentation results beforehand, please see the examples section below.)

Value

sol1_pct

the estimated percentages for all tumor clones for optimal solution 1. Each value is between 0 and 100.

sol2_cn1

a vector of length S, where S is the number of segments. It is the estimated copy number for tumor 1 for the second optimal solution.

sol2_cn2

a vector of length S, where S is the number of segments. It is the estimated copy number for tumor 2 for the second optimal solution.

It is a function that takes the count data obtained from whole genome sequencing (WGS) data and returns the estimated tumor and normal proportions. Currently, the function can performs the proportion estimations by assuming the number of tumor clones to be 1 or 2. The normalization step is not required and the normalization constant will be returned by this function. The function will output two sets of solutions corresponding to the top 2 optimal solutions based on the posterior distribution. You can choose according to your expertise the one that is more reasonable.
