[BioC] CGHCall problems

[Bernard North [guest]]

Dear All,

I am using CGHcall to segment and call aCGH copy number data.
My understanding is that the segmentation step of CGHcall is the same CBS method used in DNAcopy.
CGHcall has a function called "calls" which has segments as rows (defined as start probe to end probe) and columns for each sample with the elements being calls.
Given that DNAcopy has a different segmentation for each sample how is the segmentation in allcalls decided upon ?
Calls is run as allcalls<-data.frame(calls(result)) where result is the final CGHCall object as per the vignette

Also does CGHcall provide pvalues or qvalues to test if any regions are recurrently amplified or deleted over samples ?
