I understand that you found the Apr 2, 2008 thread 'p-value in paired
total copy number analysis':

Yes, that is correct. You grab the CBS estimates from array 1 on
Chr22 and get a 'DNAcopy' object.

Correct, it doesn't.

Look at the help index of the DNAcopy package. There is for instance:
"segments.p p-values for the change-points"
Please post further questions on this to the Bioconductor list - the
home of DNAcopy - since at this stage of you analysis this is no
longer an aroma.affymetrix-specific question.
