cbind: Combine SegList Objects

In snapCGH: Segmentation, normalisation and processing of aCGH data

Description

Combine a series of SegList objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'SegList'
cbind(..., deparse.level=1)

Arguments

...	SegList objects
deparse.level	not currently used, see cbind in the base package

Details

cbind combines data objects assuming the same gene lists but different arrays.

For cbind, the matrices of expression data from the individual objects are cbinded. The data.frames of target information, if they exist, are rbinded. The combined data object will preserve any additional components or attributes found in the first object to be combined. It is not recommend to use the is rbind function for the SegList object. This is because it would require SegLists with mutually exclusive chromosomes or would result in combining multiple different segmentations for the same chromosome, which is pointless. If rbind is required perform it on an MAList and then segment it. It is currently only included as an internal function called within other library functions.

Value

An SegList object holding data from all the arrays and all genes from the individual objects.
