  The solid tumor sample obtained from clinical practice is always a mixture of different tissue types.As a result,the high-throughput genomics/epigenomics measurements from tumor samples are mixed signals.The tumor "purity",defined as the percentage of cancer cells in a tumor sample,plays an important role in the analysis of these data.It needs to be properly estimated and accounted for in order to obtain correct inference.
