Package 'PLSDAbatch'

Title: PLSDA-batch
Description: A novel framework to correct for batch effects prior to any downstream analysis in microbiome data based on Projection to Latent Structures Discriminant Analysis. The main method is named “PLSDA-batch”. It first estimates treatment and batch variation with latent components, then subtracts batch-associated components from the data whilst preserving biological variation of interest. PLSDA-batch is highly suitable for microbiome data as it is non-parametric, multivariate and allows for ordination and data visualisation. Combined with centered log-ratio transformation for addressing uneven library sizes and compositional structure, PLSDA-batch addresses all characteristics of microbiome data that existing correction methods have ignored so far. Two other variants are proposed for 1/ unbalanced batch x treatment designs that are commonly encountered in studies with small sample sizes, and for 2/ selection of discriminative variables amongst treatment groups to avoid overfitting in classification problems. These two variants have widened the scope of applicability of PLSDA-batch to different data settings.

Anaerobic digestion study

Description

This study explored the microbial indicators that could improve the efficacy of anaerobic digestion (AD) bioprocess and prevent its failure. The samples were treated with two different ranges of phenol concentration (effect of interest) and processed at five different dates (batch effect). This study includes a clear and strong batch effect with an approx. balanced batch x treatment design.

Usage

data('AD_data')

Format

A list containing three TreeSummarizedExperiment objects FullData, EgData and CorrectData:

FullData

A TreeSummarizedExperiment object containing the counts of 75 samples and 567 OTUs. The meta data information of each sample is stored in the rowData, while the taxonomy of each OTU is stored in the colData.

EgData

A TreeSummarizedExperiment object containing the values of 75 samples and 231 OTUs filtered and centered log ratio transformed from the FullData with raw counts.The rowData includes Y.trt and Y.bat. Y.trt is the effect of interest, which is a factor of phenol concentrations for each sample in the AD study; Y.bat is the batch effect, which is a factor of sample processing dates for each sample. The taxonomy of each OTU is stored in the colData. The rowTree is built based on the Y.bat.

CorrectData

A TreeSummarizedExperiment object containing seven datasets before or after batch effect correction using different methods. Each assay includes 75 samples and 231 OTUs.

Value

None.

Source

The raw data were provided by Dr. Olivier Chapleur and published at the referenced article. Filtering and normalisation described in our package vignette.

Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis for Batch Effect Correction

Description

This function removes batch variation from the input data given the batch grouping information and the number of associated components with PLSDA-batch. For sparse PLSDA-batch, the number of variables to keep for each treatment related component is needed (keepX.trt). For weighted PLSDA-batch, the balance should be set to FALSE, and it cannot deal with the nested batch x treatment design.

Usage

PLSDA_batch(
    X,
    Y.trt = NULL,
    Y.bat,
    ncomp.trt = 2,
    ncomp.bat = 2,
    keepX.trt = rep(ncol(X), ncomp.trt),
    keepX.bat = rep(ncol(X), ncomp.bat),
    max.iter = 500,
    tol = 1e-06,
    near.zero.var = TRUE,
    balance = TRUE
)

Arguments

X

A numeric matrix as an explanatory matrix. NAs are not allowed.

Y.trt

A factor or a class vector for the treatment grouping information (categorical outcome variable). Without the input of Y.trt, treatment variation cannot be preserved before correcting for batch effects.

Y.bat

A factor or a class vector for the batch grouping information (categorical outcome variable).

ncomp.trt

Integer, the number of treatment associated dimensions to include in the model.

ncomp.bat

Integer, the number of batch associated dimensions to include in the model.

keepX.trt

A numeric vector of length ncomp.trt, the number of variables to keep in XX-loadings. By default all variables are kept in the model. A valid input of keepX.trt extends PLSDA-batch to a sparse version.

keepX.bat

A numeric vector of length ncomp.bat, the number of variables to keep in XX-loadings. By default all variables are kept in the model. We usually use the default setting.

max.iter

Integer, the maximum number of iterations.

tol

Numeric, convergence stopping value.

near.zero.var

Logical, should be set to TRUE in particular for data with many zero values. Setting this argument to FALSE (when appropriate) will speed up the computations. Default value is TRUE.

balance

Logical, should be set to TRUE, if the batch x treatment design is balanced (or complete). Setting this argument to FALSE extends PLSDA-batch to weighted PLSDA-batch. wPLSDA-batch can deal with highly unbalanced designs but not the nested design. Default value is TRUE.

Value

PLSDA_batch returns a list that contains the following components:

X

The original explanatory matrix X.

X.nobatch

The batch corrected matrix with the same dimension as the input matrix.

X.notrt

The matrix from which treatment variation is removed.

Y

The original outcome variables Y.trt and Y.bat.

latent_var.trt

The treatment associated latent components calculated with corresponding latent dimensions.

latent_var.bat

The batch associated latent components calculated with corresponding latent dimensions.

loadings.trt

The estimated treatment associated latent dimensions.

loadings.bat

The estimated batch associated latent dimensions.

tol

The tolerance used in the iterative algorithm, convergence stopping value.

max.iter

The maximum number of iterations.

iter.trt

Number of iterations of the algorthm for each treatment associated component.

iter.bat

Number of iterations of the algorthm for each batch associated component.

explained_variance.trt

The amount of data variance explained per treatment associated component.

Value

PreFL returns a list that contains the following components:

data.filter

The filtered data matrix.

sample.idx

The indexs of samples kept.

var.idx

The indexs of variables kept.

zero.prob

Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with Density Plots per Component

Description

This function draws a PCA sample plot with density plots per principal component.

Usage

Scatter_Density(
    object,
    batch = NULL,
    trt = NULL,
    xlim = NULL,
    ylim = NULL,
    color.set = NULL,
    batch.legend.title = "Batch",
    trt.legend.title = "Treatment",
    density.lwd = 0.2,
    title = NULL,
    title.cex = 1.5,
    legend.cex = 0.7,
    legend.title.cex = 0.75
)

Arguments

object

The object of class PCA.

batch

A factor or a class vector for the batch grouping information (categorical outcome variable).

trt

A factor or a class vector for the treatment grouping information (categorical outcome variable).

xlim

A numeric vector of length 2, indicating the x coordinate ranges.

ylim

A numeric vector of length 2, indicating the y coordinate ranges.

color.set

A vector of character, indicating the set of colors to use. The colors are represented by hexadecimal color code.

batch.legend.title

Character, the legend title of batches.

trt.legend.title

Character, the legend title of treatments.

density.lwd

Numeric, the thickness of density lines.

title

Character, the plot title.

title.cex

Numeric, the size of plot title.

legend.cex

Numeric, the size of legends.

legend.title.cex

Numeric, the size of legend title.

Value

Examples

# The first example
library(mixOmics) # for function pca()
library(TreeSummarizedExperiment) # for functions assays(),rowData()
data('AD_data')
# centered log ratio transformed data
ad.clr <- assays(AD_data$EgData)$Clr_value
ad.pca.before <- pca(ad.clr, ncomp = 3, scale = TRUE)
ad.batch <- rowData(AD_data$EgData)$Y.bat # batch information
ad.trt <- rowData(AD_data$EgData)$Y.trt # treatment information
names(ad.batch) <- names(ad.trt) <- rownames(AD_data$EgData)
Scatter_Density(object = ad.pca.before, batch = ad.batch, trt = ad.trt)

# The second example
colorlist <- rainbow(10)

                color.set = colorlist)

Sponge A. aerophoba study

Description

This study investigated the relationship between metabolite concentration and microbial abundance of specific sponge tissues. The samples were collected from two types of tissues (Ectosome vs. Choanosome) and processed on two separate denaturing gradient gels in electrophoresis. This study includes relative abundance data only and a completely balanced batch x treatment design.

Usage

data('sponge_data')

Format

A TreeSummarizedExperiment object containing the relative abundance (Tss_value) and centered log ratio transformed values (Clr_value) of 32 samples and 24 OTUs. The rowData includes Y.trt and Y.bat. Y.trt is the effect of interest, which is a factor of sponge tissues for each sample in the sponge study; Y.bat is the batch effect, which is a factor of electrophoresis gels where each sample processed. The rowTree is built based on the Y.bat.

Value

None.
