From: ISOpureR: an R implementation of a computational purification algorithm of mixed tumour profiles
ISOpure workflow. An overview of the ISOpure algorithm, illustrating the inputs and the most important outputs of the Cancer Profile Estimation (CPE) and the Patient Profile Estimation (PPE) steps. The CPE step estimates an average cancer profile over all patients and the proportion of cancer in each tumour, as well as the patient healthy profiles (as weights of input profiles). The healthy profile weights are re-estimated in the PPE step. This second step estimates the purified cancer profile for each patient. All estimated parameters from the CPE and PPE steps are output by the ISOpureR functions ISOpure.step1.CPE and ISOpure.step2.PPE.
