Correlating RNA-seq and ChIP-seq data? Concurrence frequencies as metric?

I have several chromatin modification ChIP data sets and I have RNA-seq expression data. I want to ascribe a metric to how correlated having a particular histone mark (or combo of marks) is with the expression data. I've tried to use deeptools plotCorrelation to accomplish this but I have to use the input subtracted bigwig files for everything instead of the MACS peak data (so it's not quite what I want).

I've seen papers use "concurrence frequencies" between these data types: https://bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12864-019-5609-1 (figure 5) and https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Concurrence-Frequencies-for-Histone-Modifications-DH-Sites-and-Transcript-Regions-The_fig4_235377225 but there is no clear info on how to derive these. Any suggestions or if anyone knows which tools I can use to accomplish this would be much appreciated.

chip-seq rna-seq sequencing

Thanks! StereoGene does seem to be a way forward to start answering this question. I've run ChromHMM on my data and have states but I again run into the same issue where I have a state assigned to a certain positional region(s) and don't have a good way forward to correlate that with the RNA-seq expression data.
