Hi - I get a warning message when running EPIC (input dataset is TCGA RNAseq FPKM). Please advise on a resolution.

Warning message:
In EPIC(bulk = bulkSamplesMatrix) :
mRNA_cell value unknown for some cell types: CAFs, Endothelial - using the default value of 0.4 for these but this might bias the true cell proportions from all cell types.

Hello,
This is indicated in the the FAQ part of the README:

Best regards,
