B2M {ENmix}R Documentation

Convert methylation beta value to M value.

Description

Convert methylation beta value to M value.

Usage

B2M(x)

Arguments

x

An numeric matrix with values between 0 and 1

Details

Methylation beta value is calculated as beta=M/(M+U+a). M is methylated intensity, U is unmethylated intensity, and a is a constant offset (by default , a=100). M value is calculated as M=log2((M+a)/(U+a)). M or U is usually greater than 1000, so a is negligible for most probes. if a=0, then M=log2(beta/(1-beta).

Value

A matrix of M values
