SomaticSignatures (version 2.8.4)

decomposition-signatures: Decomposition Functions for Somatic Signatures

Description

Estimate somatic signatures from sequence motifs with a selection of statistical methods.

Usage

nmfDecomposition(x, r, ..., includeFit = FALSE) pcaDecomposition(x, r, ..., includeFit = FALSE)

Arguments

x
GRanges object [required]
r
Number of signatures [integer, required]
...
Additional arguments passed to 'NMF::nmf' or 'pcaMethods::pca'.
includeFit
Include the fit object returned by the low-level decomposition function in the output.

Value

The 'signature' functions return a list with the elements:
  • wMatrix of the form 'motif x signature'
  • hMatrix of the form 'sample x signature'
  • vMatrix of the form 'motif x sample', containing the reconstruction of 'm' from 'w' and 'h'.
  • mInput matrix 'm'
  • rNumber of signatures.
  • fitFit object returned by the low-level decomposition function, if 'includeFit' is true.

Details

The 'nmfDecomposition' and 'pcaDecomposition' functions estimate a set of 'r' somatic signatures using the NMF or PCA, respectively.

In previous versions of the package, these functions were known as 'nmfSignatures' and 'pcaSignatures', respectively. While they are still available, we recommend using the new naming convention.
