I have tried this and works good but at the end I need the information 
whether there is a gain or loss at the segment. I will use GLAD model to 
get gain or loss at a segment. My samples and controls are completely 
unrelated so I am little bit doubtful whether I am doing right or not. I 
also found some other algorithms that can work on segments produced by CBS 
model still looking into them.

Then I am also looking for CNA. What other softwares have you tried on data 
from CytoScan HD array?
