What do these memory progression errors mean?

How do I make segments longer?

There are several ways to do this:

• Soft weight constraints:
  • --segtransition-weight-scale will increase the strength of the soft length prior for longer segments
• Hard weight constraints
  • The --seg-table option will allow you to specify a hard minimum segment length, as described here.
  • Downsampling resolution

See Segment duration model for model related methods.

How can I make Segway go faster?

• Train on smaller portion of the genome. Use the --include-coords option and supply a BED file.
• Splitting up into smaller subsequences by reducing –split-sequences can also help.
• Decrease Resolution (Not currently implemented segway)
