ml_tax_HFE: Hierarchical Feature Selection

In leylabmpi/LeyLabRMisc: Ley Lab misc R functions, rmd templates, etc.

Hierarchical Feature Selection

Description

For each clade (defined by tax_level), aggregate species abundances at each taxonomic level up to the user-defined "tax_level", (optionally filter out near-zero features), then filter out taxa that correlate strongly (just one taxon is selected of those that correlate).

Usage

ml_tax_HFE(
  brk,
  tax_level,
  corr_cutoff = 0.7,
  threads = 2,
  freqCut = 95/1,
  uniqueCut = 5,
  quiet = TRUE
)

Arguments

brk	data.table generated by read_bracken(). Columns: Sample, Abundance, Phylum=>Species
tax_level	which taxonmoic level to use?
corr_cutoff	features with >cutoff will be filtered to just one
freqCut	as in caret::nearZeroVar; use NULL to skip
uniqueCut	as in caret::nearZeroVar; use NULL to skip

Value

data.table of filtered features
