## Leukocytes unmethylation for purity

### Description

Implementation of the LUMP (Leukocytes UnMethylation for Purity) algorithm for purity estimation on methylation datasets.

### Usage

    rnb.execute.lump(dataset)

### Arguments

`dataset` | Methylation dataset to study, provided as an object of type inheriting `RnBSet`.
