Conducts pathway test of metabolomics data using a weighted permutation test

Description

The package conducts pathway testing from untargetted metabolomics data. It requires the user to supply feature-level test results, from case-control testing, regression, or other suitable feature-level tests for the study design. Weights are given to metabolic features based on how many metabolites they could potentially match to. The package can combine positive and negative mode results in pathway tests. The package contains two types of statistical testing that considers matching uncertainty - (1) a permutation test that is based on the hypergeometric test and (2) a GSEA type test with weighted features/metabolites.

Details

The package conducts (1) a weighted hypergeometric test using permutations on metabolomics data. The weights are assigned based on how many metabolites each data feature can match to, (2) a GSEA type test based on an estimation of importance of metabolites/features. The importance is evluated by the size of matching for each metabolite/feature and the p-value of features.

The user can tune a parameter to change the penalty for multiple-matched features and choose the type of pathway testing.

METAbolic pathway testing using both POsitive and NEgative mode data

Description

Metapone conducts pathway tests for untargeted metabolomics data. It has three main characteristics: (1) expanded database combining SMPDB and Mummichog databases, with manual cleaning to remove redundancies; (2) A new weighted testing scheme to address the issue of metabolite-feature matching uncertainties; (3) Can consider positive mode and negative mode data in a single analysis.

Usage

metapone(dat=NULL, type=NULL, pa, hmdbCompMZ, pos.adductlist = c("M+H", 
"M+NH4", "M+Na", "M+ACN+H","M+ACN+Na", "M+2ACN+H", "2M+H", "2M+Na", 
"2M+ACN+H"), neg.adductlist = c("M-H","M-2H","M-2H+Na","M-2H+K",

Arguments

dat

The package doesn't require both pos and neg to be present. One ion mode result is sufficient. Multiple ion mode results are allowed.

type
