Forum:Segmentation method comparisons: HMM, CBS, RS

Question

[Shicheng Guo]

Hi All,

Segmentation processing is quite important in CNV and DMR analysis. However, is there any paper to compare the power for the difference methods? How many Segmentation method could be applied? I only know HMM, CBS, Rank Segmentation, is there any other popular methods?

Regards

Well, DSS only looks for consecutive CpGs which reach a certain p-value, though thats also a HMM to some degree.

The review I have most of my information from is Robinoson et al. 2014: (Statistical methods for detecting differentially methylated loci and regions). If you have more I would also be interested.
