Thermodynamic model for inosine computation

If it is possible, you directly can create a new class which extends the InosineNNMethod class (melting.patternModels.wobble).

The InosineNNMethod class already implements the following public functions of the PatternComputationMethod interface.: ThermoResult computeThermodynamics(NucleotidSequences sequences,int pos1, int pos2, ThermoResult result), and isMissingParameters(NucleotidSequences sequences, int pos1, int pos2).

An InosineNNMethod can compute the enthalpy and entropy of a Crick's pair containing an inosine base by adding the thermodynamic parameters for each Crick's pair containing an inosine base. The implemented function isMissingParameters(NucleotidSequences sequences, int pos1, int pos2) can determine if a thermodynamic parameter for one of the Crick's pair containing an inosine base is missing.

Finally, the implemented function int[] correctPositions(int pos1, int pos2, int duplexLength) is necessary to take into account the adjacent base pairs of the base pair containing the inosine.
