  17 Bio::SearchDist - A perl wrapper around Sean Eddy's histogram object
  18
  19 =head1 SYNOPSIS
  20
  21   $dis = Bio::SearchDist->new();
  22   foreach $score ( @scores ) {
  23      $dis->add_score($score);
  24   }
  25
  26   if( $dis->fit_evd() ) {
  27     foreach $score ( @scores ) {
  28       $evalue = $dis->evalue($score);
  29       print "Score $score had an evalue of $evalue\n";
  30     }
  31   } else {
  32     warn("Could not fit histogram to an EVD!");
  33   }
  34
  35 =head1 DESCRIPTION
  36
  37 The Bio::SearchDist object is a wrapper around Sean Eddy's excellent
  38 histogram object. The histogram object can bascially take in a number
  39 of scores which are sensibly distributed somewhere around 0 that come
  40 from a supposed Extreme Value Distribution. Having add all the scores
  41 from a database search via the add_score method you can then fit a
  42 extreme value distribution using fit_evd(). Once fitted you can then
  43 get out the evalue for each score (or a new score) using
  44 evalue($score).
  45
  46 The fitting procedure is better described in Sean Eddy's own code
  47 (available from http://hmmer.janelia.org/, or in the histogram.h header
  48 file in Compile/SW). Bascially it fits a EVD via a maximum likelhood
  49 method with pruning of the top end of the distribution so that real
  50 positives are discarded in the fitting procedure. This comes from
  51 an originally idea of Richard Mott's and the likelhood fitting
  52 is from a book by Lawless [should ref here].
  53
  54
  55 The object relies on the fact that the scores are sensibly distributed
  56 around about 0 and that integer bins are sensible for the
  57 histogram. Scores based on bits are often ideal for this (bits based
  58 scoring mechanisms is what this histogram object was originally
  59 designed for).

  61
  62 =head1 CONTACT
  63
  64 The original code this was based on comes from the histogram module as
  65 part of the HMMer2 package. Look at http://hmmer.janelia.org/
  66
  67 Its use in Bioperl is via the Compiled XS extension which is cared for
  68 by Ewan Birney (birney@ebi.ac.uk). Please contact Ewan first about
  69 the use of this module

  89 reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly
  90 address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem
  91 with code and data examples if at all possible.
