Weighted means #1

Closed fpbarthel closed 5 years ago

fpbarthel commented 9 years ago

Hi,

In the readme you say "Merge results from read groups by taking a weighted mean. However, it is benetifical run without -m to output the result per lane, so to have an idea about inter-lane variation. The merging can be done afterwards."

How to do the merging afterwards?

Thanks

Once the results for individual lanes are obtained, they can be combined as one wishes, e.g. taking average or weighted average. If -m then only the combined information, which was done by taking the weighted average, is produced.

Thanks, I understood up to this point, what I was wondering is what variable to use as weights. I used 'mapped' but it isn't clear from the documentation if this is the right one.

Sure, I used the total number of reads for this.

Great, thanks, does it really matter then?
