[Bioc-devel] viewMedians

Hi Michael,

Herve,

How hard do you think it would be to add a viewMedians? It would be nice
to have a robust average of e.g. coverage. Also, many genotypers
including GATK summarize non-alt runs using the median. We want to be
consistent.

Don't know. I didn't implement any of the view* methods for RleViews
objects (they're all implemented in C). My first impression after
having a quick look at the code is that adding RleViews_viewMedians
should not be too hard. Also it feels like there might be opportunity
for more code sharing than what we have right now. Will have to dig
into this a little bit more. Won't happen before a couple of weeks
though.

H.

Thanks,
Michael
