modelBasedQCPlots: Visualization for model-based quality control in fitting...

In lindsaypino/MSstats-patch: Protein Significance Analysis in DDA, SRM and DIA for Label-free or Label-based Proteomics Experiments

Description

To check the assumption of linear model for whole plot inference, modelBasedQCPlots takes the results after fitting models from function (groupComparison) as input and automatically generate two types of figures in pdf files as output : (1) normal quantile-quantile plot (specify "QQPlot" in option type) for checking normally distributed errors.; (2) residual plot (specify "ResidualPlot" in option type).

Usage

 
modelBasedQCPlots(data,
                  type,
                  axis.size=10,
                  dot.size=3,
                  text.size=7,
                  legend.size=7,
                  width=10, 
                  height=10,
                  address="")

Arguments

data	output from function groupComparison.
type	choice of visualization. "QQPlots" represents normal quantile-quantile plot for each protein after fitting models. "ResidualPlots" represents a plot of residuals versus fitted values for each protein in the dataset.
axis.size	size of axes labels. Default is 10.
dot.size	size of points in the graph for residual plots and QQ plots. Default is 3.
text.size	size of labeling for feature names only in normal quantile-quantile plots separately for each feature. Default is 7.
legend.size	size of legend for feature names only in residual plots. Default is 7.
width	width of the saved file. Default is 10.
height	height of the saved file. Default is 10.
address	the name of folder that will store the results. Default folder is the current working directory. The other assigned folder has to be existed under the current working directory. If type="residualPlots" or "QQPlots", "ResidualPlots.pdf" or "QQPlots.plf" will be generated. The command address can help to specify where to store the file as well as how to modify the beginning of the file name. If address=FALSE, plot will be not saved as pdf file but showed in window.

Details

Results based on statistical models for whole plot level inference are accurate as long as the assumptions of the model are met. The model assumes that the measurement errors are normally distributed with mean 0 and constant variance. The assumption of a constant variance can be checked by examining the residuals from the model.

• QQPlots : a normal quantile-quantile plot for each protein is generated in order to check whether the errors are well approximated by a normal distribution. If points fall approximately along a straight line, then the assumption is appropriate for that protein. Only large deviations from the line are problematic.

• ResidualPlots : The plots of residuals against predicted(fitted) values. If it shows a random scatter, then the assumption is appropriate.

The input of this function is the result from function (groupComparison).
