Class "DataForPREDA" is used to manage all of the data required as input for PREDA analysis

Description

This class is used to manage all of the data required as input for PREDA analysis: it is usually created by merging a GenomicAnnotationsForPREDA and a StatisticsForPREDA classes

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("DataForPREDA", ids, chr, start, end, strand, chromosomesNumbers, chromosomesLabels, position, optionalAnnotations, optionalAnnotationsHeaders, statistic, analysesNames, testedTail).

Slots

position:

Object of class "integer" ~~

ids:

Object of class "character" a character vector of unique identifiers for the genomic features under investigation

chr:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector representing the chromosome where each ids is mapped. Please note that chromosome usually not represented with a number must will be comverted to a number as well. e.g. for Human, chromsomomees X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively. User defined options will allow this conversion during GenomicAnnotations objects initialization.

start:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of start genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation (i.e. gene, transcript, SNP or other elements).

end:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of end genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation (i.e. gene, transcript, SNP or other elements).

strand:

Object of class "numeric" a numeric vector of strand genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation: value 1 is used for "plus" (forward) strand and value -1 for "minus" (reverse) strand. User defined options will allow the conversion to this format during GenomicAnnotations objects initialization.

chromosomesNumbers:

Object of class "numeric" a numeric vector containing the list of chromosomes for which genomic annotations are provided in the GenomicAnnotations object. Each chromosome is represented just once in increasing order. Please note that chromosome usually not represented with a number must will be comverted to a number as well. e.g. for Human, chromsomomees X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively.

chromosomesLabels:

Object of class "character" a character vector containing the list of chromosomes for which genomic annotations are provided in the GenomicAnnotations object. Each chromosome is represented just once in the same order as reported in chromosomesNumbers slot. This slot is actually used just to provide a label for each associated chromosome number, in case that some non numeric chromsome is used (e.g. to preserve the correspondence between chr 23 and the actual chr X in Human)

optionalAnnotations:

Object of class "matrix" optional annotations associated to the genomic features can be managed along with genomic positions annotations. E.g. GeneSymbol or EntrezGene ids can be associated to gene realted GenomicAnnotaitons objects. These additional annotations are not mandatory (the default value for this slot is NULL) The additional annotations must be provided as a matrix of character, with a number of rows equal to the length of "ids" slot and a number of columns equal to the length of "optionalAnnotationsHeaders" slot.

optionalAnnotationsHeaders:

Object of class "character" character vector containing the names associated to optional annotations. Please avoid using spaces in annotations names.

statistic:

Object of class "matrix" a numeric matrix containing gene-centered statistics (or statistics on genomic data centered on other genomic features under investigation). The statistics must be provided as a matrix of numeric values, with a number of rows equal to the length of "ids" slot and a number of columns equal to the length of "analysesNames" slot.

analysesNames:

Object of class "character" a character vector of unique names associated to each column of statistic matrix. This is just a name that will be used to identify each analysis.

testedTail:

Object of class "character" a character describing what tail of the statistic distribution will be analyzed during PREDA analysis. Possible values are "upper", "lower" or "both". Anyway we strongly recommend using PREDA analysis only for statistics on genomic data with a symmetric distribution around zero.

Class "GenomicAnnotationsForPREDA" GenomicAnnotations class with additional slot specifying the reference position for PREDA analysis

Description

This class is equivalent to the GenomicAnnotations class but includes an additional slot specifying the reference position that will be used for PREDA smoothing of data: this is included in the "position" slot. An unique reference position is required for PREDA analysis because this position is used for smoothing data along chromosomal coordinates. This reference position usaually is the start, the end, or the median posizion of each considered genomic feature, nevertheless other user defined positions could be used as well.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("GenomicAnnotationsForPREDA", ids, chr, start, end, strand, chromosomesNumbers, chromosomesLabels, position, optionalAnnotations, optionalAnnotationsHeaders).

Slots

position:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of reference genomic positions that will be associated and used for each genomic feature under investigation for smoothing data during PREDA analysis.

ids:

Object of class "character" a character vector of unique identifiers for the genomic features under investigation

chr:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector representing the chromosome where each ids is mapped. Please note that chromosome usually not represented with a number must will be comverted to a number as well. e.g. for Human, chromsomomees X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively. User defined options will allow this conversion during GenomicAnnotations objects initialization.

start:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of start genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation (i.e. gene, transcript, SNP or other elements).

end:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of end genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation (i.e. gene, transcript, SNP or other elements).

strand:

Object of class "numeric" a numeric vector of strand genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation: value 1 is used for "plus" (forward) strand and value -1 for "minus" (reverse) strand. User defined options will allow the conversion to this format during GenomicAnnotations objects initialization.

chromosomesNumbers:

Object of class "numeric" a numeric vector containing the list of chromosomes for which genomic annotations are provided in the GenomicAnnotations object. Each chromosome is represented just once in increasing order. Please note that chromosome usually not represented with a number must will be comverted to a number as well. e.g. for Human, chromsomomees X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively.

chromosomesLabels:

Object of class "character" a character vector containing the list of chromosomes for which genomic annotations are provided in the GenomicAnnotations object. Each chromosome is represented just once in the same order as reported in chromosomesNumbers slot. This slot is actually used just to provide a label for each associated chromosome number, in case that some non numeric chromsome is used (e.g. to preserve the correspondence between chr 23 and the actual chr X in Human)

optionalAnnotations:

Object of class "matrix" optional annotations associated to the genomic features can be managed along with genomic positions annotations. E.g. GeneSymbol or EntrezGene ids can be associated to gene realted GenomicAnnotaitons objects. These additional annotations are not mandatory (the default value for this slot is NULL) The additional annotations must be provided as a matrix of character, with a number of rows equal to the length of "ids" slot and a number of columns equal to the length of "optionalAnnotationsHeaders" slot.

optionalAnnotationsHeaders:

Object of class "character" character vector containing the names associated to optional annotations. Please avoid using spaces in annotations names.

Class "GenomicRegions" is used to manage information about genomic regions

Description

This class is used to manage genomic regions information that can be derived from PREDA analysis results or from other sources:e.g. relevant genomic regions from literature reports can be imported into a GenomicRegions object and compared with PREDA analysis results

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("GenomicRegions", chr, start, end, chromosomesNumbers, chromosomesLabels, optionalAnnotations, optionalAnnotationsHeaders, ids).

Slots

chr:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector representing the chromosome where each genomic region is located. Please note that chromosome usually not represented with a number must will be comverted to a number as well. e.g. for Human, chromsomomes X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively. User defined options will allow this conversion during GenomicAnnotations objects initialization.

start:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of start genomic position for each genomic region. This vector must have the same length of "chr" slot.

end:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of end genomic position for each genomic region. This vector must have the same length of "chr" slot.

chromosomesNumbers:

Object of class "numeric" a numeric vector containing the list of chromosomes associated to genomic regions in the GenomicRegions object. Each chromosome is represented just once in increasing order. Please note that chromosomes usually not represented with a number will be comverted to a number as well. e.g. for Human, chromsomomees X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively.

chromosomesLabels:

Object of class "character" a character vector containing the list of chromosomes associated to genomic regions in the GenomicRegions object. Each chromosome is represented just once in the same order as reported in chromosomesNumbers slot.

optionalAnnotations:

Object of class "matrix" optional annotations associated to the genomic regions can be managed along with GenomicRegions objects. E.g. the list of GeneSymbol or EntrezGene ids associated to each genomic region can be provided as optional annotation. These additional annotations are not mandatory (the default value for this slot is NULL) The additional annotations must be provided as a matrix of character, with a number of rows equal to the length of "chr", "start" and "end" slots and a number of columns equal to le thength of "optionalAnnotationsHeaders" slot.

optionalAnnotationsHeaders:

Object of class "character" the list of names associated to optional annotations. Please avoid using spaces in annotations names.

ids:

this class is used to manage the basic PREDA analysis output including smoothened statistic, pvalues and qvalues.

Objects from the Class

Objects can be created by calls of the form new("PREDAResults", ids, chr, start, end, strand, chromosomesNumbers, chromosomesLabels, position, optionalAnnotations, optionalAnnotationsHeaders, analysesNames, testedTail, smoothStatistic, pvalue, qvalue).

Slots

analysesNames:

Object of class "character" a character vector of unique names associated to each column of smoothStatistic, pvalue and qvalue matrices. This is just a name that is used to identify each analysis.

testedTail:

Object of class "character" a character describing what tail of the statistic distribution will be analyzed during PREDA analysis. Possible values are "upper", "lower" or "both". Anyway we strongly recommend using PREDA analysis only

smoothStatistic:

Object of class "matrix" a numeric matrix containing smoothed observed statistics as obtained from PREDA analysis. The smoothed statistics must be provided as a matrix of numeric values, with a number of rows equal to the length of "ids" slot and a number of columns equal to the length of "analysesNames" slot.

pvalue:

Object of class "matrix" a numeric matrix containing unadjusted gene-centered pvalues as obtained from PREDA analysis. The pvalue matrix must be provided as a matrix of numeric values, with a number of rows equal to the length of "ids" slot and a number of columns equal to the length of "analysesNames" slot.

qvalue:

Object of class "matrix" a numeric matrix containing adjusted gene-centered pvalues as obtained from PREDA analysis: i.e. usually FDR adjusted pvalues, but other multiple testing methods could be adopted as well The qvalue matrix must be provided as a matrix of numeric values, with a number of rows equal to the length of "ids" slot and a number of columns equal to the length of "analysesNames" slot.

position:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of reference genomic positions that will be associated and used for each genomic feature under investigation for smoothing data during PREDA analysis.

ids:

Object of class "character" a character vector of unique identifiers for the genomic features under investigation

chr:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector representing the chromosome where each ids is mapped. Please note that chromosome usually not represented with a number must will be comverted to a number as well. e.g. for Human, chromsomomees X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively. User defined options will allow this conversion during GenomicAnnotations objects initialization.

start:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of start genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation (i.e. gene, transcript, SNP or other elements).

end:

Object of class "integer" a numeric vector of end genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation (i.e. gene, transcript, SNP or other elements).

strand:

Object of class "numeric" a numeric vector of strand genomic position for each genomic feature under investigation: value 1 is used for "plus" (forward) strand and value -1 for "minus" (reverse) strand. User defined options will allow the conversion to this format during GenomicAnnotations objects initialization.

chromosomesNumbers:

Object of class "numeric" a numeric vector containing the list of chromosomes for which genomic annotations are provided in the GenomicAnnotations object. Each chromosome is represented just once in increasing order. Please note that chromosome usually not represented with a number must will be comverted to a number as well. e.g. for Human, chromsomomees X and Y will be converted to chromsomes 23 and 24 respectively.

chromosomesLabels:

Object of class "character" a character vector containing the list of chromosomes for which genomic annotations are provided in the GenomicAnnotations object. Each chromosome is represented just once in the same order as reported in chromosomesNumbers slot. This slot is actually used just to provide a label for each associated chromosome number, in case that some non numeric chromsome is used (e.g. to preserve the correspondence between chr 23 and the actual chr X in Human)

optionalAnnotations:

Object of class "matrix" optional annotations associated to the genomic features can be managed along with genomic positions annotations. E.g. GeneSymbol or EntrezGene ids can be associated to gene realted GenomicAnnotaitons objects. These additional annotations are not mandatory (the default value for this slot is NULL) The additional annotations must be provided as a matrix of character, with a number of rows equal to the length of "ids" slot and a number of columns equal to the length of "optionalAnnotationsHeaders" slot.

optionalAnnotationsHeaders:

Object of class "character" character vector containing the names associated to optional annotations. Please avoid using spaces in annotations names.

Wrapper function for gene expression statistics preprocessing for SODEGIR analysis

Description

Wrapper function for gene expression statistics preprocessing for SODEGIR analysis.

Usage

# SODEGIR_GEstatistics(.Object, pData_classColumn=NULL,
# referenceGroupLabel=NULL,
# statisticType=c("tstatistic", "FC", "FCmedian", "eBayes"),
# singleSampleOutput=TRUE, varianceAll=FALSE)

SODEGIR_GEstatistics(.Object, ...)

Arguments

.Object

An object of class ExpressionSet containing gene expression input data

...

See below

pData_classColumn:

Column of phenoData slot from the ExpressionSet object, containing the label of sample classes

referenceGroupLabel:

Specify which class label is used for the reference sample used in computing statistics for differential expression.

statisticType:

Stastistic for differential expression that is computed on input data. Possible values are "tstatistic", "FC" (Fold Change), "FCmedian" (fold change computed on medians)

singleSampleOutput:

Logical, if TRUE a statistic comparing each sample with the reference group is computed.

varianceAll:

This parameter affect the computation only when singleSampleOutput is TRUE.

varianceAll is itself a logical parameter. If TRUE, all pathological (e.g. tumor) samples and all normal (reference) samples are used to estimate variance in the comparison of individual pathological samples to the normal reference, as described in the original SODEGIR apper by Bicciato et al. (Nucleic Acids Res. 2009).

The original SODEGIR statistic for Gene Expression was based on the SAM score. However, since July 2018 the samr package is no more available in CRAN. Therefore in the current PREDA version the varianceAll=TRUE parameter can't be used as SAM is not available. When singleSampleOutput is TRUE and a different statisticType is used, the variance is actually computed using only the normal (reference) samples.

If FALSE (default value), the computation of statistics for single sample VS reference comparisons only take into account the variance in the reference group of samples.

Details

Using an ExpressionSet object as input, statistics for differential expression are computed comparing each sample with the reference group.

Value

The output is returned as a matrix.
