addDNACopy {CNAnorm} | R Documentation

## Methods for Function addDNACopy in Package ‘CNAnorm’

### Description

`addSmooth` segment ratio values in Package ‘CNAnorm’ using DNACopy

### Usage

    ## S4 method for signature 'CNAnorm'
    addDNACopy(object, independent.arms = FALSE, ideograms = NULL,
        DNAcopy.smooth = list(), DNAcopy.weight = character(), DNAcopy.segment = list())

### Arguments

`object` | An object of Class `"CNAnorm"`
`independent.arms` | Boolean. If TRUE chromosomes arms will be treated as independent, ideograms must be provided
`ideograms` | A data frame containing information about banding. See ?hg19_hs_ideogr for more information
`DNAcopy.smooth` | A list of parameters to be passed to function 'smooth.CNA' in package DNAcopy
`DNAcopy.weight` | A character value of one of these values. 'poisson', 'gaussian', 'twoTailQuantile', 'oneTailQuantile'. It specifies a way to give weight to each window depending on how much coverage in the normal deviates from the median for that chromosome. Options are listed in decreasing order of stringency. See Details
`DNAcopy.segment` | A list of parameters to be passed to function 'segment' in package DNAcopy. Parameters 'weights' and 'verbose' are not accepted

### Details

'poisson': windows with coverage more or less than 2*sqrt(mean) from the mean are weighted down. The most stringent. Recommended for unbiased genome wide sequencing.

'gaussian': windows with coverage more or less than 2*sd from the median are weighted down. Recommended for genome wide sequencing where coverage in the normal is far from poisson distribution.

'twoTailQuantile': windows with coverage outside 5-95th quantile are weighted down. Recommended when coverage is far from a normal distribution - such as capture experiments -

'oneTailQuantile': windows with coverage lower than 5th quantile are weighted down. Recommended when coverage is far from a normal distribution - such as capture experiments. Does not weight down windows with very high coverage.

### Value

An object of class `"CNAnorm"`

### Methods

`signature(object = "CNAnorm")`

  Segment ratio values on an object of class `"CNAnorm"`. Returns the same object with extra slots (`segMean`, `segID` )
