Estimate error rate

Open mbhall88 opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Rather than passing the error rate in as a parameter, we should estimate it. This is a low priority issue, and just putting it here so we remember later.

Some estimation is done - in the estimate_parameters.cpp script, if the coverage is sufficiently high, we fit a curve to the kmer coverage distribution and work from that.

ooo ok. We should chat about this when you're in Cam next as this could be useful for some stuff in local assembly potentially.

Fix complication with compare situation - maybe not all the read datasets will have the same error rate.
