Subsetting methods for microarray objects

Description

Subsetting methods were defined for the microarray classes, marrayInfo, marrayLayout,marrayRaw and marrayNorm. These methods create instances of the given class, for a subset of spots and/or arrays in a batch.

Methods

x = ANY

generic method.

x = marrayInfo

x[i, j] extract object of class "marrayInfo" for spots or arrays with indices i and labels with indices j.

x = marrayLayout

x[i] extract object of class "marrayLayout" for spots with indices i.

x = marrayRaw

x[i, j] extract object of class "marrayRaw" for spots with indices i and arrays with indices j.

x = marrayNorm

x[i, j] extract object of class "marrayNorm" for spots with indices i and arrays with indices j.


Boxplots for cDNA microarray spot statistics

Description

The function boxplot produces boxplots of microarray spot statistics for the classes "marrayRaw", "marrayNorm". We encourage users to use boxplot rather than maBoxplot. The name of the arguments have changed slightly.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'marrayRaw'
boxplot(x, xvar="maPrintTip", yvar="maM", ...)
## S4 method for signature 'marrayNorm'
boxplot(x, xvar="maPrintTip", yvar="maM", ...)

Arguments

x

Microarray object of class "marrayRaw", "marrayNorm"

xvar

Name of accessor method for the spot statistic used to stratify the data, typically a slot name for the microarray layout object (see "marrayLayout") such as maPlate or a method such as maPrintTip. If x is NULL, the data are not stratified.

yvar

Name of accessor method for the spot statistic of interest, typically a slot name for the microarray object m, such as maM.

...

Optional graphical parameters, see par.

Details

If there are more than one array in the batch, the function produces a boxplot for each array in the batch. Such plots are useful when assessing the need for between array normalization, for example, to deal with scale differences among different arrays. Default graphical parameters are chosen for convenience using the function maDefaultPar (e.g. color palette, axis labels, plot title) but the user has the option to overwrite these parameters at any point.

Combine marrayRaw, marrayNorm or marrayInfo Objects

Description

Combine a series of marrayRaw, marrayNorm and marrayInfo objects.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'marrayRaw'
cbind(..., deparse.level=1)
## S3 method for class 'marrayNorm'
cbind(..., deparse.level=1)
## S3 method for class 'marrayInfo'
rbind(..., deparse.level=1)

Arguments

...

marrayRaw objects or marrayNorm objects

deparse.level

not currently used, see cbind in the base package

Details

cbind combines data objects assuming the same gene lists but different arrays. rbind combines data objects assuming equivalent arrays, i.e., the same RNA targets, but different genes.

For cbind, the matrices o f expression data from the individual objects are cbinded. The data.frames of target information, if they exist, are rbinded. The combined data object will preserve any additional components or attributes found in the first object to be combined. For rbind, the matrices of expression data are rbinded while the target information, in any, is unchanged.

Coerce an object to belong to a given microarray class

Description

Coercing methods were defined to convert microarray objects of one class into objects of another class, e.g., instances of the "marrayRaw" class into instances of the "marrayNorm" class.

Methods

from = marrayRaw, to = marrayNorm

convert an object of class "marrayRaw" into an object of class "marrayNorm".

Note

Retrieve the Dimensions of an marrayRaw, marrayNorm or marrayInfo Object

Description

Retrieve the number of rows (genes) and columns (arrays) for an marrayRaw, marrayNorm or marrayInfo object.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'marrayRaw'
dim(x)

Arguments

x

an object of class marrayRaw, marrayNorm or marrayInfo

Details

Microarray data objects share many analogies with ordinary matrices in which the rows correspond to spots or genes and the columns to arrays. These methods allow one to extract the size of microarray data objects in the same way that one would do for ordinary matrices.

A consequence is that row and column commands nrow(x), ncol(x) and so on also work.

Value

Numeric vector of length 2. The first element is the number of rows (genes) and the second is the number of columns (arrays).

Color image for cDNA microarray spot statistics

Description

We encourage users calling "image" rather than "maImage". The name of the arguments are change slightly. The function image creates spatial images of shades of gray or colors that correspond to the values of a statistic for each spot on the array. The statistic can be the intensity log-ratio M, a spot quality measure (e.g. spot size or shape), or a test statistic. This function can be used to explore whether there are any spatial effects in the data, for example, print-tip or cover-slip effects.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'marrayRaw'
image(x, xvar = "maM", subset = TRUE, col, contours=FALSE,  bar = TRUE, overlay=NULL, ol.col=1, colorinfo=FALSE, ...)
## S4 method for signature 'marrayNorm'
image(x, xvar = "maM", subset = TRUE, col, contours=FALSE,  bar = TRUE, overlay=NULL, ol.col=1, colorinfo=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

Microarray object of class "marrayRaw", "marrayNorm"

xvar

Name of accessor function for the spot statistic of interest, typically a slot name for the microarray object x, such as maM.

subset

A "logical" or "numeric" vector indicating the subset of spots to display on the image.

col

List of colors such as that generated by rainbow, heat.colors, topo.colors, terrain.colors, or similar functions. In addition to these color palette functions, a new function maPalette was defined to generate color palettes from user supplied low, middle, and high color values.

contours

If contours=TRUE, contours are plotted, otherwise they are not shown.

bar

If bar=TRUE, a calibration color bar is shown to the right of the image.

overlay

A logical vector of spots to be highlighted on the image plots.

ol.col

Color of the overlay spots.

colorinfo

A logical value indicating whether the function should return the color scale information.

...

Optional graphical parameters, see par.

Details

This function calls the general function maImage.func, which is not specific to microarray data. If there are more than one array in the batch, the plot is done for the first array, by default. Default color palettes were set for different types of spot statistics using the maPalette function. When x=c("maM", "maMloc", "maMscale"), a green-to-red color palette is used. When x=c("maGb", "maGf", "maLG"), a white-to-green color palette is used. When x=c("maRb", "maRf", "maLR"), a white-to-red color palette is used. The user has the option to overwrite these parameters at any point.

Value

If colorinfo is set to TRUE, the following list with elements will be returned.

x.col

vector of colors to be used for calibration color bar.

x.bar

vector of values to be used for calibration color bar.

summary

six number summary of the spot statistics, from the function summary.

Color image for cDNA microarray spot statistics

Description

We encourage users calling "image" rather than "maImage". The name of the arguments are change slightly.

The function maImage creates spatial images of shades of gray or colors that correspond to the values of a statistic for each spot on the array. The statistic can be the intensity log-ratio M, a spot quality measure (e.g. spot size or shape), or a test statistic. This function can be used to explore whether there are any spatial effects in the data, for example, print-tip or cover-slip effects.

Usage

maImage(m, x="maM", subset=TRUE, col, contours=FALSE, bar=TRUE,
overlay=NULL, ol.col=1, colorinfo=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

m

Microarray object of class "marrayRaw" and "marrayNorm".

x

Name of accessor function for the spot statistic of interest, typically a slot name for the microarray object m, such as maM.

subset

A "logical" or "numeric" vector indicating the subset of spots to display on the image.

col

List of colors such as that generated by rainbow, heat.colors, topo.colors, terrain.colors, or similar functions. In addition to these color palette functions, a new function maPalette was defined to generate color palettes from user supplied low, middle, and high color values.

contours

If contours=TRUE, contours are plotted, otherwise they are not shown.

bar

If bar=TRUE, a calibration color bar is shown to the right of the image.

overlay

A logical vector of spots to be highlighted on the image plots.

ol.col

Color of the overlay spots.

colorinfo

A logical value indicating whether the function should return the color scale information.

...

Optional graphical parameters, see par.

Details

This function calls the general function maImage.func, which is not specific to microarray data. If there are more than one array in the batch, the plot is done for the first array, by default. Default color palettes were set for different types of spot statistics using the maPalette function. When x=c("maM", "maMloc", "maMscale"), a green-to-red color palette is used. When x=c("maGb", "maGf", "maLG"), a white-to-green color palette is used. When x=c("maRb", "maRf", "maLR"), a white-to-red color palette is used. The user has the option to overwrite these parameters at any point.

Value

If colorinfo is set to TRUE, the following list with elements will be returned.

x.col

vector of colors to be used for calibration color bar.

x.bar

vector of values to be used for calibration color bar.

summary

six number summary of the spot statistics, from the function summary.

Main function for location and scale normalization of cDNA microarray data

Description

This is the main function for location and scale normalization of cDNA microarray data. Normalization is performed for a batch of arrays using location and scale normalization procedures specified by the lists of functions f.loc and f.scale. Typically, only one function is given in each list, otherwise composite normalization is performed using the weights computed by the functions a.loc and a.scale. The function operates on an object of class "marrayRaw" (or possibly "marrayNorm", if normalization is performed in several steps) and returns an object of class "marrayNorm". Simple wrapper functions are provided by maNorm and maNormScale.

Usage

maNormMain(mbatch, f.loc=list(maNormLoess()), f.scale=NULL,
a.loc=maCompNormEq(), a.scale=maCompNormEq(), Mloc=TRUE, Mscale=TRUE, echo=FALSE)

Arguments

mbatch

An object of class "marrayRaw", containing intensity data for the batch of arrays to be normalized. An object of class "marrayNorm" may also be passed if normalization is performed in several steps.

f.loc

A list of location normalization functions, e.g., maNormLoess, maNormMed, or maNorm2D.

f.scale

A list of scale normalization functions, .e.g, maNormMAD.

a.loc

For composite normalization, a function for computing the weights used in combining several location normalization functions, e.g., maCompNormA.

a.scale

For composite normalization, a function for computing the weights used in combining several scale normalization functions.

Mloc

If TRUE, the location normalization values are stored in the slot maMloc of the object of class "marrayNorm" returned by the function, if FALSE, these values are not retained.

Mscale

If TRUE, the scale normalization values are stored in the slot maMscale of the object of class "marrayNorm" returned by the function, if FALSE, these values are not retained.

echo

If TRUE, the index of the array currently being normalized is printed.

Details

When both location and scale normalization functions (f.loc and f.scale) are passed, location normalization is performed before scale normalization. That is, scale values are computed for the location normalized log-rations. The same results could be obtained by two applications of the function maNormMain, first with only the location normalization function and f.scale=NULL, and second with only the scale normalization function and f.loc=NULL.

Value

mnorm

An object of class "marrayNorm", containing the normalized intensity data.

Median location normalization function

Description

This function is used for location normalization using the median of intensity log-ratios for a group of spots. The function should be used as an argument to the main normalization function maNormMain.

Usage

maNormMed(x=NULL, y="maM", subset=TRUE)

Arguments

x

Name of accessor method for spot statistic used to stratify the data, usually a layout parameter, e.g. maPrintTip or maPlate. If x is not a character, e.g. NULL, the data are not stratified.

y

Name of accessor method for spot statistics, usually maM.

subset

A "logical" or "numeric" vector indicating the subset of points used to compute the location normalization values.

Value

A function with bindings for the above arguments. This latter function takes as argument an object of class "marrayRaw" (or possibly "marrayNorm"), and returns a vector of fitted values to be subtracted from the raw log-ratios. It calls the function maMed, which is not specific to microarray objects.

Simple scale normalization function

Description

This function is a simple wrapper function around the main normalization function maNormMain. It allows the user to choose from a set of two basic scale normalization procedures. The function operates on an object of class "marrayRaw" (or possibly "marrayNorm", if normalization is performed in several steps) and returns an object of class "marrayNorm". This function can be used to conormalize a batch of arrays (norm="globalMAD" option).

Usage

maNormScale(mbatch, norm=c("globalMAD", "printTipMAD"), subset=TRUE, geo=TRUE,  Mscale=TRUE, echo=FALSE)

Arguments

mbatch

An object of class "marrayRaw", containing intensity data for the batch of arrays to be normalized. An object of class marrayNorm may also be passed if normalization is performed in several steps.

norm

A character string specifying the normalization procedures:

globalMAD

for global scale normalization using the median absolute deviation (MAD), this allows between slide scale normalization

printTipMAD

for within-print-tip-group scale normalization using the median absolute deviation (MAD).

This argument can be specified using the first letter of each method.

subset

A "logical" or "numeric" vector indicating the subset of points used to compute the normalization values.

geo

If TRUE, the MAD of each group is divided by the geometric mean of the MADs across groups (cf. Yang et al. (2002)). This allows observations to retain their original units.

Mscale

If TRUE, the scale normalization values are stored in the slot maMscale of the object of class "marrayNorm" returned by the function, if FALSE, these values are not retained.

echo

If TRUE, the index of the array currently being normalized is printed.

Details

See maNormMain for details and more general procedures.

Value

mnorm

An object of class "marrayNorm", containing the normalized intensity data.

Basic Statistical Functions for Handling Missing Values

Description

Basic statistical functions for handling missing values or NA.
In log.na, sum.na, mean.na and var.na, quantile.na, length.na, missing values are omitted from the calculation.
The function cor.na calls cor with the argument use="pairwise.complete.obs".
The function order.na only handles vector arguments and not lists. However, it gives the option of omitting the NAs (na.last=NA), of placing the NAs at the start of the ordered vector (na.last=F) or at the end (na.last=T).
The function scale.na is a modified version of scale which allows NAs in the variance calculation. If scale = T, the function f in scale.na uses var.na to perform the variance calculation. The function prod.na is similar to the prod function with na.rm=TRUE. This function returns the product of all the values present in its arguments, omitting any missing values.

Rank genes according to the value of a statistic.

Description

Select values based on intensities binning.

Usage

stat.confband.text(M, A, crit1=0.025, crit2=crit1, nclass=5)

Arguments

A

a vector giving the x-coordinates of the points in the scatter plot. In the microarray context, this could be a vector of average log intensities. ie A

M

a vector giving the y-coordinates of the points in the scatter plot. In the microarray context, this could be a vector of log intensity ratios.

crit1

The number of points to be selected. If crit1 < 1, the crit1*100% spots with the smallest M values will be selected. If crit1 >= 1, the crit spots with the smallest M values are selected.

crit2

Similar to "crit1". If crit2 < 1, the crit2*100% spots with the largest M values will be selected. If crit2 >= 1, the crit2 spots with the largest M values are selected.

nclass

A single number giving the approximate number of intensity depedent groups to consider.

Value

A vector of selected spot index.

Gene expression data from Swirl zebrafish cDNA microarray experiment

Description

The swirlRaw dataset consists of an object swirl of class marrayRaw, which represents pre-normalization intensity data for a batch of cDNA microarrays.

This experiment was carried out using zebrafish as a model organism to study early development in vertebrates. Swirl is a point mutant in the BMP2 gene that affects the dorsal/ventral body axis. Ventral fates such as blood are reduced, whereas dorsal structures such as somites and notochord are expanded. A goal of the Swirl experiment is to identify genes with altered expression in the swirl mutant compared to wild-type zebrafish. Two sets of dye-swap experiments were performed, for a total of four replicate hybridizations. For each of these hybridizations, target cDNA from the swirl mutant was labeled using one of the Cy3 or Cy5 dyes and the target cDNA wild-type mutant was labeled using the other dye. Target cDNA was hybridized to microarrays containing 8,448 cDNA probes, including 768 controls spots (e.g. negative, positive, and normalization controls spots). Microarrays were printed using 4×44 \times 4 print-tips and are thus partitioned into a 4×44 \times 4 grid matrix. Each grid consists of a 22×2422\times 24 spot matrix that was printed with a single print-tip. Here, spot row and plate coordinates should coincide, as each row of spots corresponds to probe sequences from the same 384 well-plate.

Each of the four hybridizations produced a pair of 16-bit images, which were processed using the image analysis software package Spot. Raw images of the Cy3 and Cy5 fluorescence intensities for all fourhybridizations are available at http://fgl.lsa.berkeley.edu/Swirl/index.html.the dataset includes four output files swirl.1.spot, swirl.2.spot, swirl.3.spot, and swirl.4.spot from the Spot package. Each of these files contains 8,448 rows and 30 columns; rows correspond to spots and columns to different statistics from the Spot image analysis output. The file fish.gal is a gal file generated by the GenePix program; it contains information on individual probe sequences, such as gene names, spot ID, spot coordinates. Hybridization information for the mutant and wild-type target samples is stored in SwirlSample.txt.

Usage

data(swirl)
