Use of zeta #23

zeta, defined in Landan et al. Nature Genetic 2012 (although not called 'zeta'), is the average level of methylation for all reads that overlap all methylation loci in the m-tuple. This is generally not equivalent to the average beta values of the m-tuple. Because of this, I will not include this as part of the CoMeth virtual class or any of its concrete subclasses.
