/*
* BLAST - Search two DNA sequences for locally maximal segment pairs. The basic
* command syntax is
*
* 	BLAST sequence1 sequence2
*
* where sequence1 and sequence2 name files containing DNA sequences.  Lines
* at the beginnings of the files that don't start with 'A', 'C', 'T' or 'G'
* are discarded.  Thus a typical sequence file might begin:
*
*	>BOVHBPP3I  Bovine beta-globin psi-3 pseudogene, 5' end.
*	GGAGAATAAAGTTTCTGAGTCTAGACACACTGGATCAGCCAATCACAGATGAAGGGCACT
*	GAGGAACAGGAGTGCATCTTACATTCCCCCAAACCAATGAACTTGTATTATGCCCTGGGC
*
* If sequence1 and sequence2 are identical file names, then matches are
* computed without "mirror image" pairs and without the trivial long match.
*
* The BLAST command permits optional additional arguments, such as X=50,
* that reset certain internal parameters.  The available parameters are:
*
*	M or m gives the score for a match.
*	I or i gives the score for a transition (A <--> G, C <--> T).
*	V or v gives the score for a tranversion (non-transition change).
*	W or w gives the word size.
*	X or x gives the value for terminating word extensions.
*	K or k give the cutoff.
*	(defaults: M = 1, I = -1, V = -1, W = 8, X = 10*M,
*	 and  K = 5% significance level)
*
* If W is set to 0, then all locally maximum segment pairs (LMSPs) are
* computed; in this case the value of X is irrelevant.
*
* In addition, the word "noalign" requests that no alignments be printed
* (summary statistics for each locally maximal segment pair are reported)
* and the word "stats" requests that statistics concerning the performance
* of BLAST be printed.  Thus a typical command is
*
*	BLAST SEQ1 SEQ2 M=1 I=0 V=-1 noalign

/**************** Statistical Significance Parameter Subroutine ****************

	Version 1.0	February 2, 1990
	Version 1.1	July 5,     1990

	Program by:	Stephen Altschul

	Address:	National Center for Biotechnology Information
			National Library of Medicine
			National Institutes of Health
			Bethesda, MD  20894

	Internet:	altschul@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

See:	Karlin, S. & Altschul, S.F. "Methods for Assessing the Statistical
	Significance of Molecular Sequence Features by Using General Scoring
	Schemes,"  Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87 (1990), 2264-2268.

	Computes the parameters lambda and K for use in calculating the
	statistical significance of high-scoring segments or subalignments.

	The scoring scheme must be integer valued.  A positive score must be
	possible, but the expected (mean) score must be negative.

	A program that calls this routine must provide the value of the lowest
	possible score, the value of the greatest possible score, and a pointer
	to an array of probabilities for the occurence of all scores between
	these two extreme scores.  For example, if score -2 occurs with
	probability 0.7, score 0 occurs with probability 0.1, and score 3
	occurs with probability 0.2, then the subroutine must be called with
	low = -2, high = 3, and pr pointing to the array of values
	{ 0.7, 0.0, 0.1, 0.0, 0.0, 0.2 }.  The calling program must also provide
	pointers to lambda and K; the subroutine will then calculate the values
	of these two parameters.  In this example, lambda=0.330 and K=0.154.

	The parameters lambda and K can be used as follows.  Suppose we are
	given a length N random sequence of independent letters.  Associated
	with each letter is a score, and the probabilities of the letters
	determine the probability for each score.  Let S be the aggregate score
	of the highest scoring contiguous segment of this sequence.  Then if N
	is sufficiently large (greater than 100), the following bound on the
	probability that S is greater than or equal to x applies:
	
		P( S >= x )   <=   1 - exp [ - KN exp ( - lambda * x ) ].
	
	In other words, the p-value for this segment can be written as
	1-exp[-KN*exp(-lambda*S)].

	This formula can be applied to pairwise sequence comparison by assigning
	scores to pairs of letters (e.g. amino acids), and by replacing N in the
	formula with N*M, where N and M are the lengths of the two sequences
	being compared.

	In addition, letting y = KN*exp(-lambda*S), the p-value for finding m
	distinct segments all with score >= S is given by:

                               2             m-1           -y
		1 - [ 1 + y + y /2! + ... + y   /(m-1)! ] e

	Notice that for m=1 this formula reduces to 1-exp(-y), which is the same
	as the previous formula.
