correctIntegerCopyNumber {TitanCNA} | R Documentation

## Compute purity and ploidy corrected log ratios; recompute integer CN for high-level amplifications.

### Description

TitanCNA uses a finite state space that defines a maximum number of copies to model. High-level amplifications that exceed this defined maximum need to be corrected and reported as the likely copy number based on the observed data. `correctIntegerCN` performs two tasks: (1) correct log ratio based on purity and ploidy, and then convert to decimal CN value; (2) Correct bins (from `cn`) and segments (from `segs`) in which the original predicted integer copy number was assigned the maximum CN state; bins and segments for all of chromosome X are also corrected, if provided in the input.

### Usage

    correctIntegerCN(cn, segs, purity, ploidy, maxCNtoCorrect.autosomes = NULL,
    		maxCNtoCorrect.X = NULL, correctHOMD = TRUE, minPurityToCorrect = 0.2, gender = "male",
    		chrs = c(1:22, "X"))

### Arguments

`cn` | data.table object output from the function outputTitanResults
`segs` | data.table object output from the function outputTitanSegments
`purity` | Float type of the 1 minus the normal contamination estimate from TitanCNA
`ploidy` | Float type of the average tumor ploidy estimate from TitanCNA
`maxCNtoCorrect.autosomes` | Bins and segments in autosomes with this copy number value or higher will be corrected. If `NULL`, then it will use the original copy number value from the input data.
`maxCNtoCorrect.X` | Bins and segments in chromosome X, if provided, with this copy number value or higher will be corrected. If `NULL`, then it will use the original copy number value from the input data.
`minPurityToCorrect` | If `purity` is less than `minPurityToCorrect`, then `Corrected_Copy_Number` will retain the same copy number values as the input copy number.
`correctHOMD` | If `TRUE`, then will correct the copy number of homozygous deletion bins and segments based on purity and ploidy corrected log ratios.
`gender` | data.frame containing list of centromere regions. This should contain 3 columns: chr, start, and end. If this argument is used, then data at and flanking the centromeres will be removed.
`chrs` | Chromosomes to consider for copy number correction.

### Value

`cn`: `data.table` object that contains the same columns as the input object but also includes new columns `logR_Copy_Number`, `Corrected_Copy_Number`, `Corrected_Call`. `segs`: `data.table` object that contains the same columns as the input object but also includes new columns `logR_Copy_Number`, `Corrected_Copy_Number`, `Corrected_Call`, `Corrected_MajorCN`, `Corrected_MinorCN`. Column definitions:

`logR_Copy_Number` | Purity and ploidy corrected log ratios that have been converted to a decimal-based copy number value.
`Corrected_Copy_Number` | `round(logR_Copy_Number)`
`Corrected_Call` | String representation of `Corrected_Copy_Number`; `HLAMP`=high-level amplification is assigned to bins/segments that have been corrected.
`Corrected_MajorCN` | Purity and ploidy corrected integer (rounded) major copy number value.
`Corrected_MinorCN` | Purity and ploidy corrected integer (rounded) minor copy number value.
