transform.biom: Apply mathematical transformations to BIOM data

Description

Prepare an object of class biom for further analysis by applying selected transformations with specified parameters.

Usage

"transform"(`_data`, ...)
t_ColCenter(x, ...)
t_ColScale(x, ...)
t_Log(x, ...)
t_NA2Zero(x, ...)
t_Threshold(x, entry.min=2, row.min=2, col.min=2)

Arguments

_data

an object (biom)

x

a matrix

entry.min

minimum to retain an entry (numeric)

row.min

minimum sum to retain a row (numeric)

col.min

minimum sum to retain a column (numeric)

...

transformations to apply and arguments to them

Examples

####  simple log-transform
transform (xx1, t_Log)

####  additional filters
transform (xx1, t_NA2Zero, t_Threshold, t_Log)

####  what is lost with more stringent filtering of low-abundance annotations
yy <- transform (xx2, t_NA2Zero, t_Threshold, t_Log)
zz <- transform (xx2, t_NA2Zero, t_Threshold=list(entry.min=5, row.min=10), t_Log)
setdiff (rownames (yy), rownames (zz))

####  each sample centered around zero; scaling columnwise by standard deviation
transform (xx4, t_NA2Zero, t_Threshold, t_Log, t_ColCenter, t_ColScale)

####  defining a new transformation that indicates presence / absence
t_Indicator <- function (x, ...) { ifelse (x,1,0) }
transform (xx1, t_Threshold = list(entry.min=5), t_Indicator)
