## S3 method for class 'CBS'
callGainsAndLosses(fit, adjust=1, method=c("ucsf-mad", "ucsf-dmad"), ..., verbose=FALSE)
Arguments
adjust
A positive scale factor adjusting the sensitivity of the
caller, where a value less (greater) than 1.0 makes the caller
less (more) sensitive.
method
A character string specifying the calling algorithm to use.
...
Additional/optional arguments used to override the default
parameters used by the caller.
Value
Returns a CBS object where logical columns
'lossCall' and 'gainCall' have been appended to the segmentation table.
The UCSF caller
If method == "ucsf-mad", then segments are called using [1], i.e.
a segment is called gained or lost if its segment level is
at least two standard deviations away from the median segment level
on Chr1-22, where standard deviation is estimated using MAD.
Then same is done for method == "ucsf-dmad" with the difference
that the standard deviation is estimated using a robust first order
variance estimator.
