Combination: Weights for combination of predictions from different data...

In IntegratedMRF: Integrated Prediction using Uni-Variate and Multivariate Random Forests

Description

Calculates combination weights for different subtypes of dataset combinations to generate integrated Random Forest (RF) or Multivariate Random Forest (MRF) model based on different error estimation models such as Bootstrap, 0.632+ Bootstrap, N-fold cross validation or Leave one out.

Usage

Combination(finalX, finalY_train, Cell, finalY_train_cell, n_tree, m_feature,
  min_leaf, Confidence_Level)

Arguments

finalX	List of Matrices where each matrix represent a specific data subtype (such as genomic characterizations for drug sensitivity prediction). Each subtype can have different types of features. For example, if there are three subtypes containing 100, 200 and 250 features respectively, finalX will be a list containing 3 matrices of sizes M x 100, M x 200 and M x 250 where M is the number of Samples.
finalY_train	A M x T matrix of output features for training samples, where M is number of samples and T is the number of output features. The dataset is assumed to contain no missing values. If there are missing values, an imputation method should be applied before using the function. A function 'Imputation' is included within the package.
Cell	It contains a list of samples (the samples can be represented either numerically by indices or by names) for each data subtype. For the example of 3 data subtypes, it will be a list containing 3 arrays where each array contains the sample information for each data subtype.
finalY_train_cell	Sample names of output features for training samples
n_tree	Number of trees in the forest, which must be positive integer
m_feature	Number of randomly selected features considered for a split in each regression tree node, Valid Input is a positive integer, which is less than N (which is equal to number of input features for the smallest genomic characterization)
min_leaf	Minimum number of samples in the leaf node, which must be positive integer and less than or equal to M (number of training samples)
Confidence_Level	Confidence level for calculation of confidence interval (User Defined), which must be between 0 and 100

Details

The function takes all the subtypes of dataset in matrix format and its corresponding sample information. For calculation purpose, we have considered the data of the samples that are common in all the subtypes and output training responses. For example, consider a dataset of 3 sub-types with different number of samples and features, with indices of samples in subtype 1, 2, 3 and output feature matrix is 1:10, 3:15, 5:16 and 5:11 respectively. Thus, features of sample index 5:10 (common to all subtypes and output feature matrix) of all subtypes and output feature matrix will be selected and considered for all calculations.

For M x N dataset, N number of bootstrap sampling sets are considered. For each bootstrap sampling set and each subtype, a Random Forest (RF) or, Multivariate Random Forest (MRF) model is generated, which is used for calculating the prediction performance for out-of-bag samples. The prediction performance for each subtype of the dataset is based on the averaging over different bootstrap training sets. The combination weights (regression coefficients) for each combination of subtypes are generated using least Square Regression from the individual subtype predictions and used later to calculate mean absolute error, mean square error and correlation coefficient between predicted and actual values.

For N-fold cross validation error estimation with M cell lines, N models are generated for each subtype of dataset, where for each partition (M/N)*(N-1) cell lines are used for training and the remaining cell lines are used to estimate errors and combination weights for different data subtype combinations.

In 0.632 Bootstrap error estimation, bootstrap and re-substitution error estimates are combined based on 0.632xBootstrap Error + 0.368xRe-substitution Error. While 0.632+ Bootstrap error estimation considers the overfitting of re-substitution error with no information error rate γ. An estimate of γ is obtained by permuting the responses y[i] and predictors x[j].

γ=sum(sum(error(x[j],y[i]),j=1,m),i=1,m)/m^2

The relative overfitting rate is defined as R=(Bootstrap Error-Resubstitution Error)/(γ-Resubstitution Error) and weight distribution between bootstrap error and Re-substitution Error is defined as w=0.632/(1-0.368*R). So, 0.632+ Bootstrap error is equal to (1-w)*Bootstrap Error+w*Resubstitution Error. These prediction results are then used to compute the errors and combination weights for different data subtype combinations.

Confidence Interval has been calculated using Jackkniffe-After-Bootstrap Approach and prediction result of bootstrap error estimation.

For leave-one-out error estimation using M cell lines, M models are generated for each subtype of dataset, which are then used to calculate the errors and combination weights for different data subtype combinations.
