Estimation of average values of correlation

Description

This function takes in ine (or two) matrix X (rows are genes, columns are samples) (or Y). It then calculates the average pairwise correlation between genes or samples. This method uses the method outlined by Schafer and Strimmer in "A Shrinkage Approach to Large-Scale Covariance Matrix Estimation and Implications for Functional Genomics" (2005)

Usage

avg.cor.shrink(
  X,
  Y = NULL,
  MARGIN = c(1, 2),
  shrink = TRUE,
  abs = FALSE,
  target = c("zero", "average", "half")
)
avg.cor.shrink(
  X,
  Y = NULL,
  MARGIN = c(1, 2),
  shrink = TRUE,
  abs = FALSE,
  target = c("zero", "average", "half")
)

Arguments

`X`	A G1 x S matrix of counts. Rows correspond to genes, columns correspond to samples.
`Y`	A G2 x S matrix of counts. Rows correspond to genes, columns correspond to samples. By default is NULL.
`MARGIN`	An integer indicate whether the rows (1, genes) or the columns (2, samples) to be calculated for pairwise correlation.
`shrink`	A flag specifying whether to shrink the correlation or not.
`abs`	A flag specifying whether to take the absolute value before taking the average (used for gene-gene correlations, not sample-sample correlations)
`target`	A character choose among ('zero', 'average', 'half'), indicating whether to shrink towards zero (for gene-gene correlations), shrink towards their empirical common average, one or 0.5 (for sample-sample correlations).

Value

The average pairwise correlation between genes or samples.

Clustering Network Nodes

Description

This function runs over all states which are grouped samples. For each state, this function splits the correlation network generated from the function getNetwork into several sub-networks (which we called 'module'). The network nodes will be defined by the end-user. For transcriptome analysis, network nodes can be the expressed transcripts. The outputs of this function include the module IDs and node IDs per module.

Usage

getCluster_methods(
  igraphL,
  method = c("rw", "hcm", "km", "pam", "natural"),
  cutoff = NULL
)
getCluster_methods(
  igraphL,
  method = c("rw", "hcm", "km", "pam", "natural"),
  cutoff = NULL
)

Arguments

igraphL

A list of numerical matrices or a list of igraph objects. The list of igraph objects can be the output from the getNetwork function.

method

A mathematical clustering model for analyzing network nodes. Default is a random walk ('rw'). A method could be 'rw', 'hcm', 'km', 'pam', or 'natural', where:

rw: random walk using cluster_walktrap function in igraph package. 'igraphL' has to be a list of igraph.
hcm: hierarchical clustering using function hclust) and dist, using method 'complete'.
km and pam: k-medoids or PAM algorithm using KMedoids.
natrual: if nodes are disconnected, they may naturally cluster and form sub-networks.

cutoff

A numeric value, default is NULL. For each method it means:

rw: the number of steps needed, see cluster_walktrap for more detail. If "cutoff" is not assigned, default of 4 will be used.
hcm, km and pam: number of clusters wanted. No default assigned.
natural: does not use this parameter.

Value

When method=rw: A list of communities objects of R package igraph, whose length is the length of the input object igraphL. These communities objects can be used for visualization when being assigned to the 'mark.groups' parameter of the plot.igraph function of the igraph package. Otherwise this function returns a list of vectors, whose length is the length of the input object igraphL. The names of each vector are the pre-selected transcript IDs by th function sd_selection. Each vector, whose length is the number of pre-selected transcript in a state, contains the module IDs.

Usage

getIc(
  counts,
  sampleL,
  genes,
  output = c("Ic", "PCCg", "PCCs"),
  fun = c("cor", "BioTIP"),
  shrink = TRUE,
  use = c("everything", "all.obs", "complete.obs", "na.or.complete",
    "pairwise.complete.obs")
)

  fun = c("cor", "BioTIP"),
  shrink = TRUE,
  use = c("everything", "all.obs", "complete.obs", "na.or.complete",
    "pairwise.complete.obs")
)

Arguments

`counts`	A numeric matrix or data frame. The rows and columns represent unique transcript IDs (geneID) and sample names, respectively.
`sampleL`	A list of vectors, whose length is the number of states. Each vector gives the sample names in a state. Note that the vector s (sample names) has to be among the column names of the R object 'df'.
`genes`	A character vector consisting of unique CTS gene ids. This can be obtained from `getMaxMCImember`
`output`	A string. Please select from 'Ic', 'PCCg', or 'PCCs'. Uses 'Ic' by default. 'PCCg' is the PCC between genes (numerator) and 'PCCs' is PCC between samples (denominator)
`fun`	An optional character string indicating the R functon to calculate correlations for all possible pairs of columns of a matrix. When using "BioTIP", The method is modified to ignore missing values, analogous to how `cor(X, use = "pairwise.complete.obs")` works. Note that the "BioTIP" option only function together with shrink = TRUE.
`shrink`	A flag specifying whether to shrink the correlation or not. This appraoch uses the method outlined by Schafer and Strimmer in "A Shrinkage Approach to Large-Scale Covariance Matrix Estimation and Implications for Functional Genomics" (2005) Comparing to fun='cor', the 'BioTIP' method without shinkage is modified to ignore missing values, analogous to how `cor(X, use = "pairwise.complete.obs")` works.
`use`	An optional character string, when fun=="cor", it gives a method for computing covariances in the presence of missing values. This must be (an abbreviation of) one of the strings "everything", "all.obs", "complete.obs", "na.or.complete", or "pairwise.complete.obs".

Value

A list of numeric values, whose length and names are inherited from sampleL

Index of criticality Scoring System with estimated correlation, an updated Ic-score

Description

This function calculates the BioTIP score on a given data matrix X (or two matrixes X and Y). It can also calculate the $I_c$ score, if desired.

This appraoch uses the method outlined by Schafer and Strimmer in "A Shrinkage Approach to Large-Scale Covariance Matrix Estimation and Implications for Functional Genomics" (2005)

This approach is modified to ignore missing values, analogous to how cor(X, use = "pairwise.complete.obs") works.

The gene-gene correlations are shrunk towards 0, whereas the sample-sample correlations are shrunk towards their empirical average.

Usage

getIc.new(
  X,
  method = c("BioTIP", "Ic"),
  PCC_sample.target = c("average", "zero", "half"),
  output = c("IndexScore", "PCCg", "PCCs")
)
getIc.new(
  X,
  method = c("BioTIP", "Ic"),
  PCC_sample.target = c("average", "zero", "half"),
  output = c("IndexScore", "PCCg", "PCCs")
)

Arguments

`X`	A G x S matrix of counts. Rows correspond to genes, columns correspond to samples.
`method`	A flag specifying whether to calculate the BioTIP score or the $I_c$ score
`PCC_sample.target`	A character choose among ('average', 'zero', 'half'), indicating whether to shrink PCC towards towards their empirical common average, zero or 0.5 (for sample-sample correlations).
`output`	A string. Please select from 'IndexScore', 'PCCg', or 'PCCs'. Uses 'IndexScore' by default. 'PCCg' is the PCC between genes (numerator) and 'PCCs' is PCC between samples (denominator).

Value

A value containing the shrunk BioTIP or non-shrunk $I_c$ score

Identifying the 'Biomodule'

Description

This function reports the 'biomodule', which is the module with the maximum Module Critical Index (MCI) scores for each state. Each state can have multiple modules (groups of subnetworks derived from the function getCluster_methods). This function runs over all states.

Usage

getMaxMCImember(membersL, MCIl, minsize = 1)
getMaxMCImember(membersL, MCIl, minsize = 1)

Arguments

`membersL`	A list of integer vectors with unique ids as names. Each vector represents the cluster number assign to that unique id. The length of this list is equal to the number of states in the study. This can be the first element of the output from function `getMCI` or the output from `getCluster_methods`, see Examples for more detail.
`MCIl`	A list of numeric vectors with unique cluster numbers as names. Each vector represents the MCI scores of that module. This can be the second element of the output from function `getMCI`.
`minsize`	A numerical value of the minimum module size (the number of transcripts in a cluster) to output for downstream analysis.

Value

A nested list whose length is the length of the input object membersL. Each internal list contains two objects: one object is the vector of biomodule IDs across states, and the other object is a list of transcript IDs (each defines the biomodule per state) across states.

Calculating MCI Scores

Description

This function calculates a module critical index (MCI) score for each module per state within a dataset. Each module is a cluster of transcripts generated from the function getCluster_methods. Note that a dataset should contains three or more states (samples in groups).

Usage

getMCI(
  groups,
  countsL,
  adjust.size = FALSE,
  fun = c("cor", "BioTIP"),
  df = NULL
)
getMCI(
  groups,
  countsL,
  adjust.size = FALSE,
  fun = c("cor", "BioTIP"),
  df = NULL
)

Arguments

`groups`	A list of elements whose length is the member of states. The elements could be either be vectors or `communities` object of the R package `igraph`. If a vector, it is the output of the function `getCluster_methods`. The names of each vector are the pre-selected transcript IDs generated by the function `sd_selection`. Each vector, whose length is the number of pre-selected transcripts in a state, contains the module IDs. If a `communities` object, it can be obtained by `getCluster_methods` using the "rw" method. It is also an output of the function `sd_selection`.
`countsL`	A list of x numeric count matrices or x data frame, where x is the number of states.
`adjust.size`	A Boolean value indicating if MCI score should be adjusted by module size (the number of transcripts in the module) or not. Default FALSE. This parameter is not recommended for fun=BioTIP.
`fun`	A character chosen between ("cor", "BioTIP"), indicating where an adjusted correlation matrix will be used to calculate the MCI score.
`df`	NULL or a numeric matrix or data frame, where rows and columns represent unique transcript IDs (geneID) and sample names, respectively. Used only when `fun='BioTIP'`. By default is NULL, estinating the correlation among selected genes. Otherwise, estinating the correlation among all genes in the df, ensuring cross state comparision.

Value

A list of five elements (members, MCI, Sd, PCC, and PCCo). Each of element is a two-layer nested list whose length is the length of the input object groups. Each internal nested list is structured according to the number of modules identified in that state.

members: vectors of unique ids
MCI: the MCI score
sd: standard deviation
PCC: Mean of pairwise Pearson Correlation Coefficient calculated among the loci in a module.
PCCo: Mean of pairwise Pearson Correlation Coefficient calculated between the loci in a module and the loci outside that module but inside the same state.

Building Networks of Nodes

Description

This function builds one correlation network for each state (sample group) and runs across all states. The network nodes are defined by the context of the input dataset. For transcriptomic network analysis, network nodes can be the expressed transcript IDs and network links can be the correlation coefficients. Using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) analysis, this function assembles a correlation network of nodes (e.g., co-expressed transcripts) for each state using the R package igraph.

Usage

getNetwork(optimal, fdr = 0.05)
getNetwork(optimal, fdr = 0.05)

Arguments

`optimal`	A list of x numeric data frames, where x is the number of states studied. Each data frame consists of loci with high standard deviations. This object can be obtained through `sd_selection` function.
`fdr`	A numeric cutoff value for a Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) analysis. Default is 0.05. Transcripts are linked into a network if their correlations meet this PCC-significance criterion.

Value

A list of igraph objects whose length is the length of the input object optimal. Each object is a network of correlated nodes whose PCCs meet the significant criteria based on the false discovery rate (FDR) control. The length of the list is the number of states with PCC networks. If no PCC meets the significant criteria in a state, the state will be deleted from the output.

Density plot the leading two distance between any two states from random scores of all states in a system.

Description

Generate a density plot of Ic score (orBioTIP score) from a simulation, which is the distance between the first-larget and the second-largest random scores. This is an alternative method to estimate the significance of an observed BioTIP (or Ic) score in a system. This measurement makes more sense to evaluate random scores of sample-label shuffling, in which the nature sample-sample correlation within a phenotypic state (or cell subpopulation) was removed.

Usage

plot_SS_Simulation(
  Ic,
  simulation,
  las = 0,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  order = NULL,
  main = "1st max - 2nd max",
  ylab = "1st max - 2nd max"
)

  Ic,
  simulation,
  las = 0,
  xlim = NULL,
  ylim = NULL,
  order = NULL,
  main = "1st max - 2nd max",
  ylab = "1st max - 2nd max"
)

Arguments

`Ic`	A vector with names of states. If order is not assigned, then plot by the order of this vector.
`simulation`	A numeric matrix of Ic scores in which rows are states and columns are numbers of simulated times. It can be obtained from `simulation_Ic`
`las`	Numeric in 0, 1, 2, 3; the style of axis labels. Default is 0, meaning labels are parallel. (link to http://127.0.0.1:21580/library/graphics/html/par.html).
`xlim`	An integer vector of length 2. Default is NULL.
`ylim`	An integer vector of length 2. Default is NULL.
`order`	Characters of names of Ic to be plotted in a desired `order`. Default is NULL.
`main`	A character vector. The title of the plot. Default is NULL.
`ylab`	titles y axes, as in plot.

Value

Return a plot of the observed Ic (red) and simulated Ic (grey) scores per state.

Plot the Maximized MCI per State

Description

This function generates a line plot over multiple states with the maximum MCI score per state. The module size (i.e., number of network nodes) is specified at each state in parentheses.

Usage

plotMaxMCI(maxMCIms, MCIl, las = 0, order = NULL, states = NULL)
plotMaxMCI(maxMCIms, MCIl, las = 0, order = NULL, states = NULL)

Arguments

`maxMCIms`	A list of 2 elements. The 1st element is an integer vector of module ids whose names are the state names. The 2nd element is a list of character vectors per state. The vectors are network nodes (e.g. transcript ids). This parameter can be obtained by running function `getMaxMCImember`.
`MCIl`	A list of numeric vectors whose names are unique cluster ids. Each vector represents the MCI scores of modules in a state. This can be the second element of the output from the function `getMCI`.
`las`	Numeric in 0, 1, 2, 3; the style of axis labels. Default is 0, meaning labels are parallel. See `getMCI` for more detail.
`order`	A vector of state names in the customized order to be plotted, setting to NULL by default.
`states`	A character vector of state names that will be shown on the plot, setting to NULL by default. Assign this if you want to show all states, including states with no resulted modules. This parameter will overwrite the parameter 'order'.

Selecting Highly Oscillating Transcripts

Description

sd_selection pre-selects highly oscillating transcripts from the input dataset df. The dataset must contain multiple sample groups (or 'states'). For each state, the function filters the dataset using a cutoff value for standard deviation. The default cutoff value is 0.01 (i.e., higher than the top 1 percentage standard deviation).

Usage

sd_selection(
  df,
  samplesL,
  cutoff = 0.01,
  method = c("other", "reference", "previous", "itself", "longitudinal reference"),
  control_df = NULL,
  control_samplesL = NULL
)
sd_selection(
  df,
  samplesL,
  cutoff = 0.01,
  method = c("other", "reference", "previous", "itself", "longitudinal reference"),
  control_df = NULL,
  control_samplesL = NULL
)

Arguments

`df`	A numeric matrix or data frame. The rows and columns represent unique transcript IDs (geneID) and sample names, respectively.
`samplesL`	A list of vectors, whose length is the number of states. Each vector gives the sample names in a state. Note that the vectors (sample names) has to be among the column names of the R object 'df'.
`cutoff`	A positive numeric value. Default is 0.01. If < 1, automatically selects top x transcripts using the a selecting method (which is either the `reference`, `other` stages or `previous` stage), e.g. by default it will select top 1 percentage of the transcripts.
`method`	Selection of methods from `reference`,`other`, `previous`, default uses `other`. Partial match enabled. `itself`, or `longitudinal reference`. Some specific requirements for each option: `reference`, the reference has to be the first. `previous`, make sure `sampleL` is in the right order from benign to malign. `itself`, make sure the cutoff is smaller than 1. `longitudinal reference` make sure `control_df` and `control_samplesL` are not NULL. The row numbers of control_df is the same as df and all transcripts in df are also in control_df.
`control_df`	A count matrix with unique loci as row names and samples names of control samples as column names, only used for method `longitudinal reference`
`control_samplesL`	A list of characters with stages as names of control samples, required for method 'longitudinal reference'

Value

sd_selection() A list of data frames, whose length is the number of states. The rows in each data frame are the filtered transcripts with highest standard deviation selected from df and based on an assigned cutoff value. Each resulting data frame represents a subset of the raw input df, with the sample ID of the same state in the column.
