.initialize_theta {methylCC} | R Documentation

## .initialize_theta

### Description

Creates a container with initial theta parameter estimates

### Usage

    .initialize_theta(n, K, alpha0 = NULL, alpha1 = NULL, sig0 = NULL,
      sig1 = NULL, tau = NULL)

### Arguments

`n` | Number of samples
`K` | Number of cell types
`alpha0` | Default NULL. Initial mean methylation level in unmethylated regions
`alpha1` | Default NULL. Initial mean methylation level in methylated regions
`sig0` | Default NULL. Initial var methylation level in unmethylated regions
`sig1` | Default NULL. Initial var methylation level in methylated regions
`tau` | Default NULL. Initial var for measurement error

### Value

A data frame with initial parameter estimates to be used in `.initializeMLEs()`.
