Method SSE_evol()

Public method. Simulate how CpG dinucleotide methylation state changes due to the SSE process along a time step of length dt

Usage
singleStructureGenerator$SSE_evol(dt, testing = FALSE)
Arguments
dt

time step length.

testing

logical value for testing purposes. Default FALSE.

Returns

default NULL. If testing TRUE it returns a list with the number of events sampled and a dataframe with the position(s) affected, new state and old methylation state.

Method IWE_evol()

Public Method. Simulate IWE Events

Simulates how CpG Islands' methylation state frequencies change and simultaneous sites change methylation state along a branch of length t according to the SSE-IWE model.

testing

logical value for testing purposes. Default FALSE.

Details

The function checks if the methylation equilibrium frequencies (eqFreqs) and sequence observed frequencies (obsFreqs) change after the IWE event. If there is a change in either frequencies, the corresponding change flags(eqFreqsChange in the infoIWE list will be set to TRUE.

Returns

If testing = TRUE it returns a list. If there was a change in the equilibrium frequencies the list contains the following 7 elements, if not it contains the first 3 elements:

eqFreqsChange

logical indicating if there was a change in the equilibrium frequencies.

old_eqFreqs

Original equilibrium frequencies before the IWE event.

new_eqFreqs

New equilibrium frequencies after the IWE event.

old_obsFreqs

Original observed frequencies before the IWE event.
