Add neighbourhood info on majority cell type

This function adds cell type composition information to the nhoods_info slot within the miloR object. For each neighbourhood, it calculates the proportion of the majority cell type and identifies which cell type is most abundant. This is useful for annotating differential abundance results with the cellular composition of each neighbourhood.

Usage

add_nhoods_info(x, cell_info)

# S3 method for class 'miloR'
add_nhoods_info(x, cell_info)

Modified miloR object with updated nhoods_info containing majority_celltype and majority_prop columns.
