meanIntensity {sesame} | R Documentation

## Whole-dataset-wide Mean Intensity

### Description

The function takes one single `SigDF` and computes mean intensity of all the in-band measurements. This includes all Type-I in-band measurements and all Type-II probe measurements. Both methylated and unmethylated alleles are considered. This function outputs a single numeric for the mean.

### Usage

    meanIntensity(sdf, mask = TRUE)

### Arguments

`sdf` | a `SigDF`
`mask` | whether to mask probes using mask column

### Details

Note: mean in this case is more informative than median because methylation level is mostly bimodal.

### Value

mean of all intensities

### Examples

    sesameDataCache("EPIC") # if not done yet
    sdf <- sesameDataGet('EPIC.1.SigDF')
    meanIntensity(sdf)
