goseq: Perform goseq Enrichment tests across a GeneSetDb.

In lianos/sparrow: Take command of set enrichment analyses through a unified interface

Perform goseq Enrichment tests across a GeneSetDb.

Description

Note that we do not import things from goseq directly, and only load it if this function is fired. I can't figure out a way to selectively import functions from the goseq package without it having to load its dependencies, which take a long time – and I don't want loading sparrow to take a long time. So, the goseq package has moved to Suggests and then is loaded within this function when necessary.

Usage

goseq(
  gsd,
  selected,
  universe,
  feature.bias,
  method = c("Wallenius", "Sampling", "Hypergeometric"),
  repcnt = 2000,
  use_genes_without_cat = TRUE,
  plot.fit = FALSE,
  do.conform = TRUE,
  as.dt = FALSE,
  .pipelined = FALSE
)

Arguments

gsd	The GeneSetDb object to run tests against
selected	The ids of the selected features
universe	The ids of the universe
feature.bias	a named vector as long as nrow(x) that has the "bias" information for the features/genes tested (ie. vector of gene lengths). names(feature.bias) should equal rownames(x). If this is not provided, all feature lengths are set to 1 (no bias). The goseq package provides a getlength function which facilitates getting default values for these if you do not have the correct values used in your analysis.
method	The method to use to calculate the unbiased category enrichment scores
repcnt	Number of random samples to be calculated when random sampling is used. Ignored unless method="Sampling".
use_genes_without_cat	A boolean to indicate whether genes without a categorie should still be used. For example, a large number of gene may have no GO term annotated. If this option is set to FALSE, those genes will be ignored in the calculation of p-values (default behaviour). If this option is set to TRUE, then these genes will count towards the total number of genes outside the category being tested.
plot.fit	parameter to pass to goseq::nullp().
do.conform	By default TRUE: does some gymnastics to conform the gsd to the universe vector. This should neber be set to FALSE, but this parameter is here so that when this function is called from the seas() codepath, we do not have to reconform the GeneSetDb object, because it has already been done.
as.dt	If FALSE (default), the data.frame like thing that this funciton returns will be set to a data.frame. Set this to TRUE to keep this object as a data.table
.pipelined	If this is being called external to a seas pipeline, then some additional cleanup of columns name output will be done when FALSE (default). Otherwise the column renaming and post processing is left to the do.goseq caller.

Value

A data.table of results, similar to goseq output. The output from nullp is added to the outgoing data.table as an attribue named "pwf".

Examples

vm <- exampleExpressionSet()
gdb <- conform(exampleGeneSetDb(), vm)

# Identify DGE genes
mg <- seas(vm, gdb, design = vm$design)
lfc <- logFC(mg)

# wire up params
selected <- subset(lfc, significant)$feature_id
universe <- rownames(vm)
mylens <- setNames(vm$genes$size, rownames(vm))
degenes <- setNames(integer(length(universe)), universe)
degenes[selected] <- 1L

gostats <- sparrow::goseq(
  gdb, selected, universe, mylens,
  method = "Wallenius", use_genes_without_cat = TRUE)
