=head1 NAME

Bio::Matrix::PSM::SiteMatrix - SiteMatrixI implementation, holds a
position scoring matrix (or position weight matrix) and log-odds

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Bio::Matrix::PSM::SiteMatrix;
  # Create from memory by supplying probability matrix hash
  # both as strings or arrays
  # where the frequencies  $a,$c,$g and $t are supplied either as
  # arrayref or string. Accordingly, lA, lC, lG and lT are the log
  # odds (only as arrays, no checks done right now)
  my ($a,$c,$g,$t,$score,$ic, $mid)=@_; 
  #or
  my ($a,$c,$g,$t,$score,$ic,$mid)=('05a011','110550','400001',
                                    '100104',0.001,19.2,'CRE1');
  #Where a stands for all (this frequency=1), see explanation bellow
  my %param=(-pA=>$a,-pC=>$c,-pG=>$g,-pT=>$t,
             -lA=>$la, -lC=>$lc,-lG=>$lg,-lT=>$l,
             -IC=>$ic,-e_val=>$score, -id=>$mid);
  my $site=new Bio::Matrix::PSM::SiteMatrix(%param);
  #Or get it from a file:
  use Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO;
  my $psmIO= new Bio::Matrix::PSM::IO(-file=>$file, -format=>'transfac');
  while (my $psm=$psmIO->next_psm) {
    #Now we have a Bio::Matrix::PSM::Psm object, 
    # see Bio::Matrix::PSM::PsmI for details
    #This is a Bio::Matrix::PSM::SiteMatrix object now
    my $matrix=$psm->matrix;  
  }

  # Get a simple consensus, where alphabet is {A,C,G,T,N}, 
  # choosing the highest probability or N if prob is too low
  my $consensus=$site->consensus;

  #Getting/using regular expression

  my $count=grep($regexp,$seq);
  my $count=($seq=~ s/$regexp/$1/eg);
  print "Motif $mid is present $count times in this sequence\n";

=head1 DESCRIPTION

SiteMatrix is designed to provide some basic methods when working with
position scoring (weight) matrices, such as transcription factor
binding sites for example.  A DNA PSM consists of four vectors with
frequencies {A,C,G,T). This is the minimum information you should
provide to construct a PSM object. The vectors can be provided as
strings with frequencies where the frequency is {0..a} and a=1. This
is the way MEME compressed representation of a matrix and it is quite
useful when working with relational DB.  If arrays are provided as an
input (references to arrays actually) they can be any number, real or
integer (frequency or count).

When creating the object the constructor will check for positions that
equal 0.  If such is found it will increase the count for all
positions by one and recalculate the frequency.  Potential bug- if you
are using frequencies and one of the positions is 0 it will change
significantly.  However, you should never have frequency that equals
0.

Throws an exception if: You mix as an input array and string (for
example A matrix is given as array, C - as string).  The position
vector is (0,0,0,0).  One of the probability vectors is shorter than
the rest.

Summary of the methods I use most frequently (details bellow):

  iupac - return IUPAC compliant consensus as a string
  score - Returns the score as a real number
  IC - information content. Returns a real number
  id - identifier. Returns a string
  accession - accession number. Returns a string
  next_pos - return the sequence probably for each letter, IUPAC
      symbol, IUPAC probability and simple sequence
  consenus letter for this position. Rewind at the end. Returns a hash.
  pos - current position get/set. Returns an integer.
  regexp - construct a regular expression based on IUPAC consensus.
      For example AGWV will be [Aa][Gg][AaTt][AaCcGg]
  width - site width
  get_string - gets the probability vector for a single base as a string.
  get_array - gets the probability vector for a single base as an array.
  get_logs_array - gets the log-odds vector for a single base as an array.

New methods, which might be of interest to anyone who wants to store
PSM in a relational database without creating an entry for each
position is the ability to compress the PSM vector into a string with
losing usually less than 1% of the data.  this can be done with:

  my $str=$matrix->get_compressed_freq('A');
or

  my $str=$matrix->get_compressed_logs('A');

Loading from a database should be done with new, but is not yest implemented.
However you can still uncompress such string with:

  my @arr=Bio::Matrix::PSM::_uncompress_string ($str,1,1); for PSM

or

  my @arr=Bio::Matrix::PSM::_uncompress_string ($str,1000,2); for log odds

=head2 regexp_array

 Title   : regexp_array
 Usage   :
 Function: Returns a regular expression which matches the IUPAC convention.

 Throws  :
 Example :
 Returns : array
 Args    :
 To do   : I have separated regexp and regexp_array, but
           maybe they can be rewritten as one - just check what should be returned
