AES-PCA permutation test of continuous response for pathway PCs

Description

Given an OmicsReg object and a list of pathway PCs from the ExtractAESPCs function, test if each pathway with features recorded in the bio-assay design matrix is significantly related to the continuous response.

Usage

PermTestReg(
  OmicsReg,
  pathwayPCs_ls,
  numReps = 0L,
  parallel = FALSE,
  numCores = NULL,
  ...
)

## S4 method for signature 'OmicsReg'
PermTestReg(
  OmicsReg,
  pathwayPCs_ls,
  numReps = 0L,
  parallel = FALSE,
  numCores = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

OmicsReg	A data object of class OmicsReg, created by the CreateOmics function.
pathwayPCs_ls	A list of pathway PC matrices returned by the ExtractAESPCs function.
numReps	How many permutations to estimate the p-value? Defaults to 0 (that is, to estimate the p-value parametrically). If numReps > 0, then the non-parametric, permutation p-value will be returned based on the number of random samples specified.
parallel	Should the computation be completed in parallel? Defaults to FALSE.
numCores	If parallel = TRUE, how many cores should be used for computation? Internally defaults to the number of available cores minus 2.
...	Dots for additional internal arguments (currently unused).

Details

This function takes in a list of the first principal components from each pathway and an object of class OmicsReg. This function will then calculate the AIC of a multivariate linear model (via the lm function) with the original observations as response and the pathway principal components as the predictor matrix. Note that the AIC and log-likelihood are proportional because the number of parameters in each pathway is constant.

Then, this function will create numReps permutations of the regression response, fit models to each of these permuted responses (holding the path predictor matrix fixed), and calculate the AIC of each model. This function will return a named vector of permutation p-values, where the value for each pathway is the proportion of models for which the AIC of the permuted response model is less than the AIC of the original model.

Value

A named vector of pathway permutation p-values.

Examples

  # DO NOT CALL THIS FUNCTION DIRECTLY.
  # Use AESPCA_pVals() instead

## Not run: 
  ###  Load the Example Data  ###
  data("colonSurv_df")
  data("colon_pathwayCollection")

  ###  Create an OmicsSurv Object  ###
  colon_Omics <- CreateOmics(
    assayData_df = colonSurv_df[, -(2:3)],
    pathwayCollection_ls = colon_pathwayCollection,
    response = colonSurv_df[, 1:2],
    respType = "reg"
  )

  ###  Extract Pathway PCs and Loadings  ###
  colonPCs_ls <- ExtractAESPCs(
    object = colon_Omics,
    parallel = TRUE,
    numCores = 2
  )

  ###  Pathway p-Values  ###
  PermTestReg(
    OmicsReg = colon_Omics,
    pathwayPCs_ls = colonPCs_ls$PCs,
    parallel = TRUE,
    numCores = 2
  )
