Package 'microSTASIS'

Title: Microbiota STability ASsessment via Iterative cluStering
Description: The toolkit 'µSTASIS', or microSTASIS, has been developed for the stability analysis of microbiota in a temporal framework by leveraging on iterative clustering. Concretely, the core function uses Hartigan-Wong k-means algorithm as many times as possible for stressing out paired samples from the same individuals to test if they remain together for multiple numbers of clusters over a whole data set of individuals. Moreover, the package includes multiple functions to subset samples from paired times, validate the results or visualize the output.

Stability of individuals after iteratively performing Hartigan-Wong k-means clustering.

Description

Perform Hartigan-Wong stats::kmeans() algorithm as many times as possible. The values of k are from 2 to the number of samples minus 1. Those individuals whose paired samples are clustered under the same label sum 1. If paired samples are in different clusters, then sum 0, except when the euclidean distance between them is smaller to the ones of each sample to its centroid. This is done for all possible values of k and, finally, divided the sum by k, so obtaining a value between 0 and 1.

Usage

iterativeClustering(
  pairedTimes,
  BPPARAM = BiocParallel::bpparam(),
  common = "_"
)

Arguments

pairedTimes

list of matrices with paired times, i.e. samples to be stressed to multiple iterations. Output of pairedTimes().

BPPARAM

supply a BiocParallel parameters object, e.g. BiocParallel::SerialParam() in the specific case of Windows OS or BiocParallel::bpparam().

common

pattern that separates the ID and the sampling time.

Value

µSTASIS stability score (mS) for the individuals from the corresponding paired times.

Examples

data(clr)
times <- pairedTimes(data = clr, sequential = TRUE, common = "_0_")
mS <- iterativeClustering(pairedTimes = times, common = "_")

Description
