drugSensitivitySig-PharmacoSet-method: Creates a signature representing the association between gene...

In PharmacoGx: Analysis of Large-Scale Pharmacogenomic Data

Description

Given a Pharmacoset of the sensitivity experiment type, and a list of drugs, the function will compute a signature for the effect gene expression on the molecular profile of a cell. The function returns the estimated coefficient, the t-stat, the p-value and the false discovery rate associated with that coefficient, in a 3 dimensional array, with genes in the first direction, drugs in the second, and the selected return values in the third.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'PharmacoSet'
drugSensitivitySig(
  object,
  mDataType,
  drugs,
  features,
  cells,
  tissues,
  sensitivity.measure = "auc_recomputed",
  molecular.summary.stat = c("mean", "median", "first", "last", "or", "and"),
  sensitivity.summary.stat = c("mean", "median", "first", "last"),
  returnValues = c("estimate", "pvalue", "fdr"),
  sensitivity.cutoff,
  standardize = c("SD", "rescale", "none"),
  molecular.cutoff = NA,
  molecular.cutoff.direction = c("less", "greater"),
  nthread = 1,
  verbose = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

object	PharmacoSet a PharmacoSet of the perturbation experiment type
mDataType	character which one of the molecular data types to use in the analysis, out of dna, rna, rnaseq, snp, cnv
drugs	character a vector of drug names for which to compute the signatures. Should match the names used in the PharmacoSet.
features	character a vector of features for which to compute the signatures. Should match the names used in correspondant molecular data in PharmacoSet.
cells	character allows choosing exactly which cell lines to include for the signature fitting. Should be a subset of cellNames(pSet)
tissues	character a vector of which tissue types to include in the signature fitting. Should be a subset of cellInfo(pSet)$tissueid
sensitivity.measure	character which measure of the drug dose sensitivity should the function use for its computations? Use the sensitivityMeasures function to find out what measures are available for each PSet.
molecular.summary.stat	character What summary statistic should be used to summarize duplicates for cell line molecular profile measurements?
sensitivity.summary.stat	character What summary statistic should be used to summarize duplicates for cell line sensitivity measurements?
returnValues	character Which of estimate, t-stat, p-value and fdr should the function return for each gene drug pair?
sensitivity.cutoff	numeric Allows the user to binarize the sensitivity data using this threshold.
standardize	character One of "SD", "rescale", or "none", for the form of standardization of the data to use. If "SD", the the data is scaled so that SD = 1. If rescale, then the data is scaled so that the 95 interquantile range lies in [0,1]. If none no rescaling is done.
molecular.cutoff	Allows the user to binarize the sensitivity data using this threshold.
molecular.cutoff.direction	character One of "less" or "greater", allows to set direction of binarization.
nthread	numeric if multiple cores are available, how many cores should the computation be parallelized over?
verbose	logical 'TRUE' if the warnings and other informative message shoud be displayed
...	additional arguments not currently fully supported by the function

Value

list a 3D array with genes in the first dimension, drugs in the second, and return values in the third.

Examples

data(GDSCsmall)
drug.sensitivity <- drugSensitivitySig(GDSCsmall, mDataType="rna", 
             nthread=1, features = fNames(GDSCsmall, "rna")[1])
print(drug.sensitivity)
