mstep {ebGenotyping} R Documentation

## CM steps

### Description

This function calculates the CM steps of ECM algorithm for the model described in 'An Empirical Bayes Method for Genotyping and SNP detection Using Multi-sample Next-generation Sequencing Data'.

### Usage

mstep(mu0, delta0, zm1, z0, zp1, dat, cvg, eps = 1e-06)


### Arguments

 mu0 a vetor of the same length as number of positions: the initial value of position effect mu. delta0 a vetor of the same length as number of samples: the initial value of sample effect delta. zm1 the output of estep: the posterior probabilities of genotype RR for n samples at m positions z0 the output of estep: the posterior probabilities of genotype RV for n samples at m positions zp1 the output of estep: the posterior probabilities of genotype VV for n samples at m positions dat a n*m matrix: the ith row, jth column of the matrix represents the non-reference counts of ith sample at jth position. cvg a n*m matrix: the ith row, jth column of the matrix represents the depth of ith sample at jth position. eps a single value: a threshold to control the convergence criterion. The default is 1e-06.

### Details

The value of mu and delta must satisfy that each element of outer(delta,mu,"+") must less than zero. This is the requirement of the model described in 'An Empirical Bayes Method for Genotyping and SNP detection Using Multi-sample Next-generation Sequencing Data'.

### Value

 mu the optimal value of mu in current CM steps delta the optimal value of delta in current CM steps pRR the optimal value of the probability of RR in current CM steps pRV the optimal value of the probability of RV in current CM steps

### Note

The most important function in this package is "ecm". "mstep" is a function called by "ecm" to realize one M step(several CM steps) in the whole process of iteration in "ecm".
