bin_columns_into_quantiles

Source: R/bin_columns_into_quantiles.r

bin_columns_into_quantiles is an internal function used to convert a matrix of specificity (with columns of cell types) intom a matrix of specificity quantiles

bin_columns_into_quantiles(
  matrixIn,
  numberOfBins = 40,
  defaultBin = as.integer(numberOfBins/2)
)

Arguments

matrixIn

The matrix of specificity values
numberOfBins

Number of quantile 'bins' to use (40 is recommended)
defaultBin

Which bin to assign when there's only one non-zero quantile.

Value

A matrix with same shape as matrixIn but with columns storing quantiles instead of specificity
