chipSmooth {ChIPanalyser} | R Documentation

## Accessor methods for `chipSmooth` slot in a `parameterOptions` object.

### Description

Access or Extract `chipSmooth` slot in a `parameterOptions` object.

### Usage

    chipSmooth(object)

### Arguments

`object` | `object` is a `parameterOptions` object.

### Details

When computing ChIP-seq like (`computeChIPProfile`) profile from occupancy data (see `computeOccupancy`), the profiles are smoothed using a window of a given size. The default value is set at 250 base pairs. If `chipSmooth` is set to 0 then the profile will not be smoothed. We strongly encourage to set values when building a `parameterOptions` object.

### Value

Returns the `chipSmooth` slot in an `parameterOptions` object.
