Topological overlap matrix similarity and dissimilarity

Description

Calculation of the topological overlap matrix, and the corresponding dissimilarity, from a given adjacency matrix.

Usage

TOMsimilarity(
    adjMat,
    TOMType = "unsigned",
    TOMDenom = "min",
    suppressTOMForZeroAdjacencies = FALSE,
    suppressNegativeTOM = FALSE,
    useInternalMatrixAlgebra = FALSE,
    verbose = 1,
    indent = 0)
TOMdist(
    adjMat,
    TOMType = "unsigned",
    TOMDenom = "min",
    suppressTOMForZeroAdjacencies = FALSE,
    suppressNegativeTOM = FALSE,
    useInternalMatrixAlgebra = FALSE,
    verbose = 1,
    indent = 0)

Arguments

adjMat

adjacency matrix, that is a square, symmetric matrix with entries between 0 and 1 (negative values are allowed if TOMType=="signed").

TOMType

one of "none", "unsigned", "signed", "signed Nowick", "unsigned 2", "signed 2" and "signed Nowick 2". If "none", adjacency will be used for clustering. See TOMsimilarityFromExpr for details.

TOMDenom

a character string specifying the TOM variant to be used. Recognized values are "min" giving the standard TOM described in Zhang and Horvath (2005), and "mean" in which the min function in the denominator is replaced by mean. The "mean" may produce better results but at this time should be considered experimental.

suppressTOMForZeroAdjacencies

Logical: should the results be set to zero for zero adjacencies?

suppressNegativeTOM

Logical: should the result be set to zero when negative?

useInternalMatrixAlgebra

Logical: should WGCNA's own, slow, matrix multiplication be used instead of R-wide BLAS? Only useful for debugging.

verbose

integer level of verbosity. Zero means silent, higher values make the output progressively more and more verbose.

indent

indentation for diagnostic messages. Zero means no indentation, each unit adds two spaces.

Details

The functions perform basically the same calculations of topological overlap. TOMdist turns the overlap (which is a measure of similarity) into a measure of dissimilarity by subtracting it from 1.

Basic checks on the adjacency matrix are performed and missing entries are replaced by zeros.

See TOMsimilarityFromExpr for details on the various TOM types.

The underlying C code assumes that the diagonal of the adjacency matrix equals 1. If this is not the case, the diagonal of the input is set to 1 before the calculation begins.

Value

A matrix holding the topological overlap.
