[BioC] Bioconductor Digest, Vol 116, Issue 8

[Thomas J Hardcastle]

A sample size of 10000 is usually sufficient, unless your data are 
particularly unusual. For maximum stability and accuracy of prior 
distribution estimation, you can use 24000 (i.e., every data point) - 
this will take slightly longer to run but may give very slight improvements.

Best wishes,

Tom
