metricMCB.cv: Calculation of model AUC for Methylation Correlation Blocks...

In EnMCB: Predicting Disease Progression Based on Methylation Correlated Blocks using Ensemble Models

Description

To enable quantitative analysis of the methylation patterns within individual Methylation Correlation Blocks across many samples, a single metric to define the methylated pattern of multiple CpG sites within each block. Compound scores which calculated all CpGs within individual Methylation Correlation Blocks by SVM model were used as the compound methylation values of Methylation Correlation Blocks.

Usage

metricMCB.cv(MCBset,data_set,Surv,nfold,Method,seed,silent)

Arguments

MCBset	Methylation Correlation Block information returned by the IndentifyMCB function.
data_set	methylation matrix used for training the model in the analysis.
Surv	Survival function contain the survival information for training.
nfold	fold used in the cross validation precedure.
Method	model used to calculate the compound values for multiple Methylation correlation blocks. Options include "svm" "cox" and "lasso". The default option is SVM method.
seed	seed int for cross validation sampling.
silent	Ture indicates that processing information and progress bar will be shown.

Value

Object of class list with elements (XXX will be replaced with the model name you choose):

MCB_matrix	Prediction results of model.
auc_results	AUC results for each model.

Examples

#import datasets
data(demo_survival_data)
datamatrix<-create_demo()
data(demo_MCBinformation)
#select MCB with at least 3 CpGs.
demo_MCBinformation<-demo_MCBinformation[demo_MCBinformation[,"CpGs_num"]>2,]

trainingset<-colnames(datamatrix) %in% sample(colnames(datamatrix),0.6*length(colnames(datamatrix)))
testingset<-!trainingset
#create the results using Cox regression. 
mcb_cox_res<-metricMCB.cv(MCBset = demo_MCBinformation,
               data_set = datamatrix,
               Surv = demo_survival_data,
               Method = "cox")
