\title{Class \code{"BeadStudioSet"}}
\description{
  A container for log R ratios and B allele frequencies from SNP arrays.
}
\section{Objects from the Class}{
Objects can be created by calls of the form \code{new("BeadStudioSet", assayData, phenoData, featureData, experimentData, annotation, protocolData, baf, lrr, ...)}.
}
\section{Slots}{

\section{Methods}{
  In the methods below, \code{object} has class \code{BeadStudioSet}.
  \describe{
    \item{}{\code{baf(object)}: accessor for the matrix of B allele frequencies.}
    \item{}{\code{baf(object) <- value} replacement
    method for B allele frequencies: \code{value} must be a matrix of integers.}
    \item{}{\code{as(object, "data.frame")}: coerce to data.frame with column headers 'lrr',
      'baf', 'x' (physical position with unit Mb), 'id', and 'is.snp'.
      Used for plotting with lattice.}
    \item{}{\code{copyNumber(object)}:  accessor for log R ratios.}
    \item{}{\code{copyNumber(object) <- value}:  replacement method for
      the log R ratios}
    \item{initialize}{\code{signature(.Object = "BeadStudioSet")}:
      constructs an instance of the class}
    \item{}{\code{lrr(object)}: accessor for matrix of log R ratios}
    \item{}{\code{lrr(object) <- value} replacement method for log R
      ratios: \code{value} should be a matrix or a \code{ff_matrix}.}
    \item{}{\code{show(object)}: print a short summary of the
      \code{BeadStudioSet} object.}
    \item{}{\code{updateObject(object)}: update a \code{BeadStudioSet} object.}
  }
