ECDF plot of a variable with given confidence intervals on this variable

Description

Provides an ECDF plot of a variable, with x-error bars for given confidence intervals on this variable, possibly partitioned by groups. In the context of this package this function is intended to be used with the BMD as the variable and with groups defined by the user from functional annotation.

Usage

ecdfplotwithCI(variable, CI.lower, CI.upper, by, CI.col = "blue", 
CI.alpha = 1, add.point = TRUE, point.size = 1, point.type = 16)

Arguments

`variable`	A numeric vector of the variable to plot. In the context of the package this variable may be a BMD.
`CI.lower`	A corresponding numeric vector (same length) with the lower bounds of the confidence intervals.
`CI.upper`	A corresponding numeric vector (same length) with the upper bounds of the confidence intervals.
`by`	A factor of the same length for split of the plot by this factor (no split if omitted). In the context of this package this factor may code for groups defined by the user from functional annotation.
`CI.col`	The color to draw the confidence intervals (unique color) of a factor coding for the color.
`CI.alpha`	Optional transparency of the lines used to draw the confidence intervals.
`add.point`	If `TRUE` points are added to confidence intervals.
`point.size`	Size of the added points in case `add.point` is `TRUE`.
`point.type`	Shape of the added points in case `add.point` is `TRUE` defined as an integer coding for a unique common shape or as a factor coding for the shape.

Value

a ggplot object.

Examples


# (1) a toy example (a very small subsample of a microarray data set) 
#
datafilename <- system.file("extdata", "transcripto_very_small_sample.txt",
package="DRomics")
o <- microarraydata(datafilename, check = TRUE, norm.method = "cyclicloess")
s_quad <- itemselect(o, select.method = "quadratic", FDR = 0.001)
f <- drcfit(s_quad, progressbar = TRUE)
r <- bmdcalc(f)
set.seed(1) # to get reproducible results with a so small number of iterations
b <- bmdboot(r, niter = 5) # with a non reasonable value for niter 
# !!!! TO GET CORRECT RESULTS
# !!!! niter SHOULD BE FIXED FAR LARGER , e.g. to 1000 
# !!!! but the run will be longer 

# manual ecdf plot of the bootstrap results as an ecdf distribution 
# on BMD, plot that could also be obtained with plot(b) 
# in this simple case
#
a <- b$res[is.finite(b$res$BMD.zSD.upper), ]

# This function can also be used to go deeper in the exploration of the biological 
# meaning of the responses. Here is an example linking the DRomics outputs 
# with the functional annotation of the responding metabolites of the microalgae 
# Scenedesmus vacuolatus to the biocide triclosan. 
# This extra step uses a dataframe previously built by the user which links the items
# to the biological information of interest (e.g. KEGG pathways).

# importation of a dataframe with metabolomic results 
# (output $res of bmdcalc() or bmdboot() functions)
resfilename <- system.file("extdata", "triclosanSVmetabres.txt", package="DRomics")
res <- read.table(resfilename, header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = TRUE)
str(res)

# importation of a dataframe with annotation of each item
# identified in the previous file (this dataframe must be previously built by the user)
# each item may have more than one annotation (-> more than one line)
annotfilename <- system.file("extdata", "triclosanSVmetabannot.txt", package="DRomics")
annot <- read.table(annotfilename, header = TRUE, stringsAsFactors = TRUE)
str(annot)

# Merging of both previous dataframes
# in order to obtain an extenderes dataframe
# bootstrap results and annotation
annotres <- merge(x = res, y = annot, by.x = "id", by.y = "metab.code")
head(annotres)
