Hello everyone,

I am wondering how to simply merge two GRanges objects by range field and add 
the value by additional vector. For example, I have two objects below 
 
obj1 

seqnames           ranges strand |       Val
            <Rle>        <IRanges>  <Rle> | <integer>
  [1] chr1_random [272531, 272571]      + |        88
  [2] chr1_random [272871, 272911]      + |        45

obj2
 seqnames           ranges strand |       Val
            <Rle>        <IRanges>  <Rle> | <integer>
  [1] chr1_random [272531, 272581]      + |        800
  [2] chr1_random [272850, 272911]      + |        450

after merged, it should be an object as the following mergedObject and it would 
concern the differences in IRANGE data (e.g. 581 and 850 in obj2 above were 
different from those of obj1, which were 571 and 871 respectively)

mergedObject

 seqnames           ranges strand                 |         object2Val   
object1Val
            <Rle>        <IRanges>  <Rle>         |         <integer>     
<integer>
  [1] chr1_random [272531, 272581]      + |        800               88
  [2] chr1_random [272850, 272911]      + |        450               45

Easily:
    1.  Fit the unrestricted model.  If the solution is in 0-1 you are done.
    2.  If it is outside, fix the coefficient.  Say that the solution is 1.73, 
then the
optimal solution under contraint is 1.
        Redo the fit adding the paramters  "init=1, iter=0".  This forces the 
program to 
give the loglik and etc for the fixed coefficient of 1.0.
