hilbertSimilarity: Hilbert Similarity Index for High Dimensional Data

In hilbertSimilarity: Hilbert Similarity Index for High Dimensional Data

Description

This package provides a method to compute similarity between single cell samples in high dimensional space. After dividing the space into voxels, each sample is summarized as a number of cells per voxel. Voxels are ordered using a Hilbert curve, so that each sample can be represented as a 1-dimensional density plot. the distance between 2 samples corresponds to the Jensen Shannon distance between the 2 probability vectors.

Examples

# generate 3 samples over 5 dimensions
# sample 1 and 2 are similar, sample 3 has an extra population
# set the seed for reproducible examples
set.seed(1234)
my.samples <- lapply(LETTERS[1:3],function(j) {
    # each sample has a different number of events
    n <- floor(runif(1,0.5,0.8)*10000)
    # matrix is random normal over 5 dimensions
    cur.mat <- matrix(rnorm(5*n),ncol=5)
    # rescale cur.mat to a [0,3] interval
    cur.mat <- 3*(cur.mat-min(cur.mat))/diff(range(cur.mat))
    dimnames(cur.mat)[[2]] <- LETTERS[(length(LETTERS)-4):length(LETTERS)]
    if(j=='C') {
      # select 30% of the points
      cur.rws <- sample(n,round(n*0.3,0))
      # select 2 columns at random
      cur.cls <- sample(ncol(cur.mat),2)
      # create an artificial sub population
      cur.mat[cur.rws,cur.cls] <- 4*cur.mat[cur.rws,cur.cls]
