Automated SmCCNet
In this version of the SmCCNet package, we introduce a pipeline known as Automated SmCCNet. This method streamlines the SmCCNet code and significantly reduces computation time. Users are simply required to input a list of omics data and a phenotype variable. The program then automatically determines whether it is dealing with a single-omics or multi-omics problem, and whether to use CCA or PLS for quantitative or binary phenotypes respectively. For details of how each method is established and how parameters and coefficients are set, we recommend the user to refer to the multi-omics and single-omics vignettes.
Specifically, for multi-omics SmCCNet, if CCA is employed, the program can automatically select the scaling factors (importance of the pair-wise omics or omics-phenotype correlations to the objective function). This is achieved by calculating the pairwise canonical correlation between each pair of omics under the most stringent penalty parameters. The scaling factor for the omics data A, B pair in SmCCA is set to the absolute value of the pairwise canonical correlation between omics A and B divided by the between omics correlation shrinkage parameter. By default, all scaling factors linked to the phenotype-specific correlation structure are set to 1. In Automated SmCCNet, users only need to provide a BetweenShrinkage parameter, a positive real number that helps reduce the significance of the omics-omics correlation component. The larger this number, the more the between omics correlation is shrunk.
Moreover, for multi-omics SmCCNet with a binary phenotype, the scaling factor is not implemented. However, the user need to provide values for $\gamma_1$ (omics-omics connection importance) and $\gamma_2$ (omics-phenotype connection importance, see multi-omics vignette section 5 for detail). The automated SmCCNet program offers a method to calculate $\gamma_1$ while setting the value of $\gamma_2$ to 1. This is generally done by averaging all the pairwise omics-omics canonical correlations in the multi-omics dataset.
The program can also automatically select the percentage of features subsampled. If the number of features from an omics data is less than 300, then the percentage of feature subsampled is set to 0.9, otherwise, it's set to 0.7. The candidate penalty terms range from 0.1 to 0.5 with a step size of 0.1 for single/multi-omics SmCCA, and from 0.5 to 0.9 with a step size of 0.1 for single/multi-omics SPLSDA (for both omics-omics SmCCA step and omics-phenotype classifier, see section 5 in multi-omics vignette for detail).
This automated version of SmCCNet is typically faster than the standard SmCCNet. This is due to the heuristic selection of the scaling factors (see section 4.2 in the multi-omics vignette), and the parallelization of the cross-validation step, resulting in a substantial increase in computational speed. Below is an example of how to implement Automated SmCCNet. For more detailed information, please refer to the FastAutoSmCCNet() function help file:

Examples
We present below examples of how to execute Automated SmCCNet using a simulated dataset. In this demonstration, we simulate four datasets: two omics data and one phenotype data. We cover four cases in total, involving combinations of single or multi-omics data with either a quantitative or binary phenotype. The final case demonstrates the use of the regress-out approach for covariate adjustment. If users want to run through the pipeline step-by-step or understand more about the algorithm used, please refer to SmCCNet single or multi-omics vignettes for details.
