## Methylation Age estimator

### Description

To calculate Methylation Age using Hovath, Hannum or PhenoAge methods

### Usage

    methyAge(beta,type="all",fastImputation=FALSE,normalize=TRUE,nCores=2)

### Arguments

`beta` | Methylation beta value matrix with CpG names(row names) and sample ids(column names).
`type` | Which method will be used for methylation age calculation: "hovath", "hannum", "phenoAge" or "all"
`fastImputation` | If "TRUE" reference methylation values will used for imputation, if "FALSE", KNN nearest neighbor method will be used.
`normalize` | TRUE or FALSE, if TRUE, Hovath modified BMIQ method will be used to perform normalization.
`nCores` | Number of cores will be used for normalization

### Value

A data frame with rows for sample and columns for types of methylation age.
