motifcounterOptions: Set parameters for the enrichment analysis
In motifcounter: R package for analysing TFBSs in DNA sequences

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Examples

This function sets some global parameters for the 'motifcounter' package.

1	motifcounterOptions(alpha = 0.001, gran = 0.1, ncores = 1)

`alpha`	Numeric False positive probabililty for calling motif hits by chance. Default: alpha = 0.001
`gran`	Numeric score granularity which is used for discretizing the score range. Default: gran = 0.1
`ncores`	Interger number of cores used for parallel processing, if openMP is available. Default: ncores = 1

alpha=0.001 amounts to calling one motif hit per strand by chance in a sequence of length 1000 bp. Decreasing gran will increase number of discrete bins that represent the real-valued score range. This will yield more a accurate score distribution due to less discretization noise, however, it incurs an increase of the computational burden.
