hlaPredMerge {HIBAG} | R Documentation

## Merge prediction results from multiple HIBAG models

### Description

Return an object of `hlaAlleleClass`, which contains predicted HLA types.

### Usage

    hlaPredMerge(..., weight=NULL, equivalence=NULL)

### Arguments

`...` | The object(s) of `hlaAlleleClass`, having a field of 'postprob', and returned by `predict(..., type="response+prob", vote="majority")`
`weight` | the weight used for each prediction; if `NULL`, equal weights
`equivalence` | a `data.frame` with two columns, the first column for new equivalent alleles, and the second for the alleles possibly existed in the object(s) passed to this function

### Details

Calculate a new probability matrix for each pair of HLA alleles, by averaging (posterior) probabilities from all models with specified weights. If `equivalence` is specified, multiple alleles might be collapsed into one class.

### Value

Return a `hlaAlleleClass` object.
