Windowing/Thresholding is used to detect clusters composed of enriched probes. The condition for such a cluster is that it should contain at least a minimum number of enriched probes (whose signal strength passes a threshold) and in the cluster two consecutive probes should have a distance no more than a maximum gap. The minimum number of probes, the maximum gap between two probes and the threshold to judge enrichedness are all user-tuned parameters. The suggested value for these parameters are 4 probes, 500 bps, and the mean plus 2.5 SD of the raw log ratio data, respectively.
