• add new functionality for converting counts to variables, new dictionaries are named Match_counts_name.txt

midasHLA 0.0.0.9025

• changes the behavior of hlaToVariable and hlaCallsToCounts. hlaToVariable now labels alleles not present in the dictionary with 0, this can be changed with na.value argument. The NAs that were already present in input hla_calls are preserved. hlaCallsToCounts ignores all values that can be converted to numeric - this way alleles that were not present in dictionary and are represented as 0 are not counted.

midasHLA 0.0.0.9024

• adds n_correction argument to analyzeAssociations, analyzeConditionalAssociations and analyzeMiDAS that can be used to pass n argument to p.adjusted calculations.

midasHLA 0.0.0.9023

Now in cases when both alleles are NA this is reflected in counts. However if only one of the alleles is missing behaviour is still the same as previously. The described new behaviour is spread to hlaToVariable and getHlaKirInteractions functions.

midasHLA 0.0.0.9022
