SparseDC (version 0.1.17)

sparsedc_gap: Gap Statistic Calculator

Description

This function calculates the gap statistic for SparseDC. For use when the number of clusters in the data is unknown. We recommend using alternate methods to infer the number of clusters in the data.

Usage

sparsedc_gap(pdat1, pdat2, min_clus, max_clus, nboots = 200, nitter = 20,
  nstarts = 10, l1_boot = 50, l2_boot = 50)

Arguments

pdat1

The centered data from condition 1, columns should be samples (cells) and rows should be features (genes).

pdat2

The centered data from condition 2, columns should be samples (cells) and rows should be features (genes). The number of genes should be the same as pdat1. as in pdat1.

min_clus

The minimum number of clusters to try, minimum value is 2.

max_clus

The maximum number of clusters to try.

nboots

The number of bootstrap repetitions to use, default = 200.

nitter

The max number of iterations for each of the start values, the default value is 20.

nstarts

The number of start values to use for SparseDC. The default value is 10.

l1_boot

The number of bootstrap repetitions used for estimating lambda 1.

l2_boot

The number of bootstrap repetitions used for estimating lambda 2.

Value

A list containing the optimal number of clusters, as well as gap statistics and the calculated standard error for each number of clusters.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# load a small dataset
data_test <- data_biase[1:50,]
# Split data into conditions 1 and 2
data_1 <- data_test[ , which(condition_biase == "A")]
data_2 <- data_test[ , which(condition_biase == "B")]
# Preprocess data (log transform and center)
pre_data <- pre_proc_data(data_1, data_2, norm = FALSE, log = TRUE,
center = TRUE)
# Run with one bootstrap sample for example
gap_stat <- sparsedc_gap(pre_data[[1]], pre_data[[2]],
 min_clus <- 2, max_clus <- 3, nboots <- 2)
