distribution.oncotree: Find the event distribution defined by an oncogenetic tree

In Oncotree: Estimating Oncogenetic Trees

Find the event distribution defined by an oncogenetic tree

Description

distribution.oncotree calculates the joint distribution of the events defined by the tree, while marginal.distr calculates the marginal probability of occurrence of each event.

Usage

   distribution.oncotree(otree, with.probs = TRUE, with.errors=FALSE,
          edge.weights=if (with.errors) "estimated" else "observed")
   marginal.distr(otree, with.errors = TRUE,
          edge.weights=if (with.errors) "estimated" else "observed")

Arguments

otree	An object of class oncotree.
with.probs	A logical value specifying if only the set of possible outcomes should be returned (if TRUE), or the associated probabilities of occurrence as well.
with.errors	A logical value specifying whether false positive and negative error rates should be incorporated into the distribution.
edge.weights	A choice of whether the observed or estimated edge transition probabilities should be used in the calculation of probabilities. See oncotree.fit for explanation of the difference. By default, estimated edge transition probabilities if with.errors=TRUE and the observed ones if with.errors=FALSE.

Value

For distribution.oncotree: a data frame each row of which gives a possible outcome.

For marginal.distr: a named numeric vector - the names are the event names (+ ‘Root’) and the values are the corresponding marginal probability of occurrence.

Examples

   data(ov.cgh)
   ov.tree <- oncotree.fit(ov.cgh[1:5])
   
   #joint distribution
   jj <- distribution.oncotree(ov.tree, edge.weights="obs")
   head(jj)
   # including errors - time/size exponential in number of events
   jj.eps <- distribution.oncotree(ov.tree, with.errors=TRUE)
   head(jj.eps)
  
   #marginal distribution
   marginal.distr(ov.tree, with.error=FALSE)
   #marginal distribution calculated from the joint
   apply(jj[1:ov.tree$nmut], 2, function(x){sum(x*jj$Prob)})
   
   ##Same with errors incorporated
   #marginal distribution
   marginal.distr(ov.tree, with.error=TRUE)
   #marginal distribution calculated from the joint
   apply(jj.eps[1:ov.tree$nmut], 2, function(x){sum(x*jj.eps$Prob)})
