iCluster: Integrative clustering of multiple genomic data types

In iCluster: Integrative clustering of multiple genomic data types

Description

Given multiple genomic data types (e.g., copy number, gene expression, DNA methylation) measured in the same set of samples, iCluster fits a regularized latent variable model based clustering that generates an integrated cluster assigment based on joint inference across data types

Usage

iCluster(datasets, k, lambda, scalar=FALSE, max.iter=50,epsilon=1e-3)

Arguments

datasets	A list object containing m data matrices representing m different genomic data types measured in a set of n samples. For each matrix, the rows represent samples, and the columns represent genomic features.
k	Number of subtypes.
lambda	Vector of length-m lasso penalty terms.
scalar	If TRUE, assumes scalar covariance matrix Psi. Default is FALSE.
max.iter	Maximum iteration for the EM algorithm.
epsilon	EM algorithm convegence criterion.

Value

A list with the following elements.

expZ	Relaxed cluster indicator matrix.
W	Coefficient matrix.
clusters	Cluster assigment.
conv.rate	Convergence history.
