Spectral counts differential expression by edgeR

Description

Given a null and an alternative model, with a two level treatment factor as the two conditions to compare, executes the negative binomial test by edgeR functions to discover differentially expressed proteins between the two conditions. The null and alternative models may include blocking factors.The reference level of the main factor is considered to be the control condition

Usage

msms.edgeR(msnset,form1,form0,facs=NULL,div=NULL,fnm=NULL)

Arguments

msnset

A MSnSet object with spectral counts in the expression matrix.

form1

The alternative hypothesis model as an standard R formula, with the treatment factor of interest, and eventual blocking factors.

form0

The null hypothesis model as an standard R formula.It may be the standard null model (y~.) or contain one or multiple blocking factors.

facs

NULL or a data frame with the factors in its columns.

div

NULL or a vector with the divisors used to compute the offsets.

fnm

NULL or a character string with the treatment factor name, as used in the column names of the factors data frame, and in the formula.

Details

The right hand site of the formulas is expected to be "y~", with the combination of factors after the tilde. If facs is NULL the factors are taken as default from pData(msnset). If div is NULL all divisors are taken equal to one. If fnm is NULL it is taken to be the first factor in facs.

Value

A data frame with column names 'LogFC', 'LR', 'p.value', with the estimated log fold changes, likelihood ratio statistic and corresponding p-value as obtaimed from a call to glmLRT() from the edgeR package.

                ylbls=20)

Arguments

tres

The dataframe with test results as obtained from test.results(). Or a data frame with, at least, the following columns: LogFC with log fold changes, adjp with multitest adjusted p-values, and DEP with TRUE or FALSE as post test filter results, being the TRUE features both statistically significant and relevant for reproducibility.

ylbls

All features with -log10(p.val) above this value will be ploted with feature labels.

Details

Abscissas and ordinates may be limited giving a value other than NULL to the parameters maxx and maxy. All features deemed significant and relevant are ploted by a blue dot, all features deemed significant but not passing the post test filter are plotted by a red dot. The non-significant features are plotted as smaller black dots. All features deemed significant and relevant and with a -log10 p-value above ylbls are plotted with a label showing their row index in the test results dataframe. The borders limiting the values given by max.pval and min.LFC are ploted as dash-and-dot red lines.

Value

Multitest p-value adjustment and post-test filter

Description

Operates on the statistic tests results obtained from msms.glm.pois(), msms.glm.qlll() or msms.edgeR(). The following variables are computed: Raw expression mean values for each condition (control and treatment), log fold change based on these expression levels and taking into account the normalizing divisors (div), multitest adjusted p-values with FDR control, and a post test filter based on minimum spectral counts and minimum absolute log fold change as estimated by the statistic test. According to the results of this post-test filter, features are flagged as T or F depending on whether they result relevant or not, beyond their statistic signicance.

Usage

test.results(test, msnset, gpf, gp1, gp2, div, alpha = 0.05, 
             minSpC = 2, minLFC = 1, method = "BH")

Arguments

test

The dataframe obtained from either msms.glm.pois(), msms.glm.qlll() or msms.edgeR()

msnset

A MSnSet object with spectral counts in the expression matrix.

gpf

The factor used in the tests.

gp1

The treatment level name.

gp2

The control level name. Should be the factor's reference level. See R function relevel.

div

The weights used as divisors (offsets) in the GLM model. Usually the sum of spectral counts of each sample.

alpha

The multi test adjusted p-value significance threshold.

minSpC

The minimum spectral counts considered as relevant in the most abundant condition. This filter aims at reaching good reproducibility.

minLFC

The minimum absolute log fold change considered both, relevant and biologically significant. This filter aims at assuring enough biological effect size and at reaching good reproducibility.

method

One among BH or qval. The p-values are FDR ajusted by the Benjamini-Hochberg method (BH) or by qvalue (qval).

Details

No feature is removed in the filter, but instead they are flagged as TRUE or FALSE depending on whether they are considered as differentially expressed or not, in the DEP column, taking into account statistic significance and reproducibility metrics.

Value

A data frame with the following columns:

first column

Column named as the treatment level with the mean raw spectral counts observed for this condition

second column

Column named as the control level with the mean raw spectral counts observed for this condition

lFC.Av

Log fold change computed from the mean expression levesl taking into account the given normalization factors.

logFC

Log fold change estimated by fitting the given GLM model. The reference level of the main factor is taken as control.

D or LR

The statistic obtained from the tests. The residual deviance D for Poisson and quasi-likelihood, or the likelihood ratio LR for edgeR.

p.val

The unadjusted p-values obtained from the tests.

adjp

The multitest adjusted p-values with FDR control.

DEP

A logical flagging the features considered both as statistically significant and relevant for reproducibility.
