Minimal segmentation function

Description

A minimal segmentation function useful when segmentation was performed by third-pary tools. When a CollapsedVCF with germline SNPs is provided, it will cluster segments using hclust. Otherwise it will use the segmentation as provided. This function is called via the fun.segmentation argument of runAbsoluteCN. The arguments are passed via args.segmentation.

Usage

segmentationHclust(
  seg,
  vcf = NULL,
  tumor.id.in.vcf = 1,
  normal.id.in.vcf = NULL,
  min.logr.sdev = 0.15,
  prune.hclust.h = NULL,
  prune.hclust.method = "ward.D",
  chr.hash = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

seg	If segmentation was provided by the user, this data structure will contain this segmentation. Useful for minimal segmentation functions. Otherwise PureCN will re-segment the data. This segmentation function ignores this user provided segmentation.
vcf	Optional CollapsedVCF object with germline allelic ratios.
tumor.id.in.vcf	Id of tumor in case multiple samples are stored in VCF.
normal.id.in.vcf	Id of normal in in VCF. Currently not used.
min.logr.sdev	Minimum log-ratio standard deviation used in the model. Useful to make fitting more robust to outliers in very clean data (currently not used in this segmentation function).
prune.hclust.h	Height in the hclust pruning step. Increasing this value will merge segments more aggressively. If NULL, try to find a sensible default.
prune.hclust.method	Cluster method used in the hclust pruning step. See documentation for the hclust function.
chr.hash	Mapping of non-numerical chromsome names to numerical names (e.g. chr1 to 1, chr2 to 2, etc.). If NULL, assume chromsomes are properly ordered.
...	Currently unused arguments provided to other segmentation functions.

Value

data.frame containing the segmentation.

Examples

vcf.file <- system.file("extdata", "example.vcf.gz",
    package="PureCN")
interval.file <- system.file("extdata", "example_intervals_tiny.txt",
    package="PureCN")
seg.file <- system.file('extdata', 'example_seg.txt',
    package = 'PureCN')

res <- runAbsoluteCN(seg.file = seg.file,
    fun.segmentation = segmentationHclust,
    max.ploidy = 4, vcf.file = vcf.file,
    test.purity = seq(0.3, 0.7, by = 0.05),
    max.candidate.solutions = 1,
    genome = 'hg19', interval.file = interval.file)
