=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module takes biological communities (contained in a metacommunity) and
removes shrapnel, low abundance, low prevalence members that are likely to be
the result of sequencing errors (when doing sequence-based analyses). By default,
the cleaner removes only singletons, i.e. community members that appear in only
one community (prevalence of 1) and have only 1 count. You can specify your own
count and prevalence thresholds though.

=head1 SUPPORT AND BUGS

User feedback is an integral part of the evolution of this and other Bioperl
modules. Please direct usage questions or support issues to the mailing list, 
L<bioperl-l@bioperl.org>, rather than to the module maintainer directly. Many
experienced and reponsive experts will be able look at the problem and quickly 
address it. Please include a thorough description of the problem with code and
data examples if at all possible.

If you have found a bug, please report it on the BioPerl bug tracking system
to help us keep track the bugs and their resolution:

The rest of the documentation details each of the object
methods. Internal methods are usually preceded with a _

=head2 new

 Function: Create a new Bio::Community::Tool::ShrapnelCleaner object
 Usage   : my $cleaner = Bio::Community::Tool::ShrapnelCleaner->new( );
 Args    : -metacommunity       : See metacommunity().
           -count_threshold     : See count_threshold().
           -prevalence_threshold: See prevalence_threshold().
 Returns : a new Bio::Community::Tools::ShrapnelCleaner object

=head2 metacommunity

 Function: Get or set the communities to process.
 Usage   : my $communities = $cleaner->communities;
 Args    : A Bio::Community::Meta object
 Returns : A Bio::Community::Meta object

   init_arg => '-metacommunity',
);


=head2 count_threshold

 Function: Get or set the count threshold. Community members with a count equal
           or lower than this threshold are removed (provided they also meet the
           prevalence_threshold).
 Usage   : my $count_thresh = $cleaner->count_threshold;
 Args    : positive integer for the count
 Returns : positive integer for the count

=cut

   is => 'rw',
   isa => 'Maybe[PositiveNum]',
   required => 0, 
   default => 1,
   lazy => 1,
   init_arg => '-count_threshold',
);


=head2 prevalence_threshold

 Function: Get or set the prevalence threshold. Community members with a
           prevalence (number of communities that the member is found in) equal
           or lower than this threshold are removed (provided they also meet the
           count_threshold).
 Usage   : my $prevalence_thresh = $cleaner->prevalence_threshold;
 Args    : positive integer for the prevalence
 Returns : positive integer for the prevalence
