Objects can be created by calls of the form new("CGHdata", Y).
Y:
dataframe containing recorded values. One column
per profile (of the same length), with patient IDs as column names. If the data contains
probeID, then one column of Y must be named probeID. If the data contains the genomic position, then one
column of Y must be named genomic.position. If the data
contains GC content of the probe then one column of Y must be named
GCcontent.
The dataset is checked while constructing the class. If colnames are
not GCcontent, genomic.position, probeID, all columns will be
considered as microarray signals.
Slots
Y:
Contains the data one field per patient (list)
probeID:
Contains the ID of each probe (factor)
genomic.position:
Contains the genomic position of each probe (numeric)
GCcontent:
Contains the GC content of each probe (numeric)
