Generalized Scales-Based Descriptors derived by Multidimensional Scaling

Description

Generalized Scales-Based Descriptors derived by Multidimensional Scaling

Usage

extractPCMMDSScales(x, propmat, k, lag, scale = TRUE, silent = TRUE)

Arguments

x	A character vector, as the input protein sequence.
propmat	A matrix containing the properties for the amino acids. Each row represent one amino acid type, each column represents one property. Note that the one-letter row names must be provided for we need them to seek the properties for each AA type.
k	Integer. The maximum dimension of the space which the data are to be represented in. Must be no greater than the number of AA properties provided.
lag	The lag parameter. Must be less than the amino acids.
scale	Logical. Should we auto-scale the property matrix (propmat) before doing MDS? Default is TRUE.
silent	Logical. Whether we print the k eigenvalues computed during the scaling process or not. Default is TRUE.

Details

This function calculates the generalized scales-based descriptors derived by Multidimensional Scaling (MDS). Users could provide customized amino acid property matrices.

Value

A length lag * p^2 named vector, p is the number of scales (dimensionality) selected.

Examples

x = readFASTA(system.file('protseq/P00750.fasta', package = 'Rcpi'))[[1]]
data(AATopo)
tprops = AATopo[, c(37:41, 43:47)]  # select a set of topological descriptors
mds = extractPCMMDSScales(x, propmat = tprops, k = 5, lag = 7, silent = FALSE)
