## rnb.plot.marker.fstat

### Description

Plot the the cell type marker selection based on the reference methylome data

### Usage

    rnb.plot.marker.fstat(ct.object, writeToFile = FALSE, ...)

### Arguments

`ct.object` | Object of class `CellTypeInferenceResult` as returned by rnb.execute.ct.estimation.
`writeToFile` | If `TRUE`, the plot will be written to a file.
`...` | Other arguments to `createReportPlot`.

### Details

The F-statistic values from the cell type association model (first part of eqn. (1) in [1]) are plotted in decreasing order for all tested CpG positions. A vertical line gives a cut-off for the number of selected cell type markers.

### Value

if `writeToFile=TRUE` an object of class `ReportPlot`, and the plotted reordered F-statistics vector otherwise
