mergeSamples,RnBSet-method {RnBeads} | R Documentation |
Take an RnBSet object and merge methylation and phenotype information given a grouping column in the pheno table coverage is combined by taking the sum of coverages pheno is combined by concatenating entries from all samples
## S4 method for signature 'RnBSet' mergeSamples(object, grp.col)

combines phenotype information, coverage information and methylation information
methylation is combined by taking the average. Detection p-values are combined using Fisher's method.
For methylation arrays, bead counts are currently not taken into account.
