Purpose

This package is for analyzing array DNA copy number data, which is usually called array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (array CGH) data. It implements a methodology for finding change-points in these data, which are points after which the (log) test over reference ratios have changed location. The model assumes that the change-points correspond to positions where the underlying DNA copy number has changed. Therefore, change-points can be used to identify regions of gained and lost copy number. The package also provides a function for making relevant plots of the data.
