\title{
  Class to contain and describe called array comparative genomic hybridization data.
}

\description{
  Container for aCGH data and experimental
  metadata. \code{cghCall} class is derived from
  \code{\link[Biobase:class.eSet]{eSet}}, and requires the following
  matrices of equal dimension
 
  as assayData members:
  \itemize{
    \item \code{copynumber}
    \item \code{segmented}
    \item \code{calls}
    \item \code{probloss}
    \item \code{probnorm}
    \item \code{probgain}
  }
  Furthermore, columns named \code{Chromosome}, \code{Start}, and \code{End} are 
  required as featureData members, containing feature position information.
}
\section{Extends}{
   Directly extends class \code{\link[Biobase:class.eSet]{eSet}}.

\section{Creating Objects}{

  \code{new('cghCall',
    phenoData = [AnnotatedDataFrame],
    experimentData = [MIAME],
    annotation = [character],
    copynumber = [matrix],
    segmented = [matrix],
    calls = [matrix],
    probloss = [matrix],
    probnorm = [matrix],
    probgain = [matrix],
    featureData = [AnnotatedDataFrame],
    ...)
  }

  An object of class \code{cghCall} is generally obtained as output
  from \code{\link{CGHcall}}.

\section{Slots}{
  Inherited from \code{eSet}:
   \describe{
      \item{\code{assayData}:}{Contains matrices with equal
    dimensions, and with column number equal to
    \code{nrow(phenoData)}. \code{assayData} must contain the following matrices
    \itemize{
        \item \code{copynumber}
        \item \code{segmented}
        \item \code{calls}
        \item \code{probloss}
        \item \code{probnorm}
        \item \code{probgain}
    }   
    with rows represening array probes
    and columns representing samples. Additional matrices of
    identical size (e.g., representing measurement errors) may
    also be included in
    \code{assayData}. Class:\code{\link[Biobase:class.AssayData]{AssayData-class}} }

    data.}

     \item{plot}{Create a plot containing log2ratios, segments and call probabilities ordered by chromosomal 
     position. TWO EXTRA OPTIONS PLUS DEFAULTS: 
     dotres=10. Every dotres-th log2-ratio is plotted. dotres=1 plots all data. However, higher values save a lot of space and 
     allow quicker browsing of the plots. ylimit=c(-5,5): limits of the y-axis}
