## Calculation Of Predicition Profiles

### Description

compute prediction profiles for a given set of biological sequences from a model trained with /codekbsvm

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'BioVector'
    getPredictionProfile(object, kernel, featureWeights, b,
      svmIndex = 1, sel = NULL, weightLimit = .Machine$double.eps)

    ## S4 method for signature 'XStringSet'
    getPredictionProfile(object, kernel, featureWeights, b,
      svmIndex = 1, sel = NULL, weightLimit = .Machine$double.eps)

    ## S4 method for signature 'XString'
    getPredictionProfile(object, kernel, featureWeights, b,
      svmIndex = 1, sel = NULL, weightLimit = .Machine$double.eps)

### Arguments

`object` | a single biological sequence in the form of an `DNAString`, `RNAString` or `AAString` or multiple biological sequences as `DNAStringSet`, `RNAStringSet`, `AAStringSet` (or as `BioVector`).
`kernel` | a sequence kernel object of class `SequenceKernel`.
`featureWeights` | a feature weights matrix retrieved from a KeBABS model with the accessor `featureWeights`.
`b` | model intercept from a KeBABS model.
`svmIndex` | integer value selecting one of the pairwise SVMs in case of pairwise multiclass classification. Default=1
`sel` | subset of indices into `x` as integer vector. When this parameter is present the prediction profiles are computed for the specified subset of samples only. Default=`integer(0)`
`weightLimit` | the feature weight limit is a single numeric value and allows pruning of feature weights. All feature weights with an absolute value below this limit are set to 0 and are not considered for the prediction profile computation. This parameter is only relevant when feature weights are calculated in KeBABS during training. Default=.Machine$double.eps

### Details

With this method prediction profiles can be generated explicitely for a given set of sequences with a given model represented through its feature weights and the model intercept b. A single prediction profile shows for each position of the sequence the contribution of the patterns at this position to the decision value. The prediciion profile also includes the kernel object used for the generation of the profile and the seqence data.
A single profile or a pair can be plotted with method `plot` showing the relevance of sequence positions for the prediction. Please consider that patterns occuring at neighboring sequence positions are not statistically independent which means that the relevance of a specific position is not only determined by the patterns at this position but is also influenced by the neighborhood around this position. Prediction profiles can also be generated implicitely during predction for the predicted samples (see parameter `predProfiles` in `predict`).

### Value

getPredictionProfile: upon successful completion, the function returns a set of prediction profiles for the sequences as class `PredictionProfile`.

    ## load coiled coil data
    data(CCoil)
    gappya <- gappyPairKernel(k=1,m=11, annSpec=TRUE)

    ## define two new sequences to be predicted

    annot <- c("abcdefgabcdefgabcdefgabcdefga",
               "abcdefgabcdefgabcdefgabcdefga")
    annotationMetadata(GCN4, annCharset=annCharset) <- annot

    ## compute prediction profiles
    predProf <- getPredictionProfile(GCN4, gappya,
               featureWeights(model), modelOffset(model))

    ## show prediction profiles
    predProf

    ## plot prediction profile of first aa sequence
    plot(predProf, sel=1, ylim=c(-0.4, 0.2), heptads=TRUE, annotate=TRUE)

    ## plot prediction profile of both aa sequences
    plot(predProf, sel=c(1,2), ylim=c(-0.4, 0.2), heptads=TRUE, annotate=TRUE)

    ## prediction profiles can also be generated during prediction
    ## when setting the parameter predProf to TRUE
    ## plotting longer sequences to pdf is shown in the examples for the
    ## plot function
