neighbor_voting: Evaluating Gene Function Prediction

In sarbal/EGAD: Extending guilt by association by degree

Description

The function performs gene function prediction based on 'guilt by association' using cross validation ([1]). Performance and significance are evaluated by calculating the AUROC or AUPRC of each functional group.

Usage

neighbor_voting(
  genes.labels,
  network,
  nFold = 3,
  output = "AUROC",
  FLAG_DRAW = FALSE
)

Arguments

genes.labels	numeric array
network	numeric array symmetric, gene-by-gene matrix
nFold	numeric value, default is 3
output	string, default is AUROC
FLAG_DRAW	binary flag to draw roc plot

Value

scores numeric matrix with a row for each gene label and columns auc: the average area under the ROC or PR curve for the neighbor voting predictor across cross validation replicates avg_node_degree: the average node degree degree_null_auc: the area the ROC or PR curve for the node degree predictor

Examples

genes.labels <- matrix( sample( c(0,1), 1000, replace=TRUE), nrow=100)
rownames(genes.labels) = paste('gene', 1:100, sep='')
colnames(genes.labels) = paste('function', 1:10, sep='')
net <- cor( matrix( rnorm(10000), ncol=100), method='spearman')
rownames(net) <- paste('gene', 1:100, sep='')
colnames(net) <- paste('gene', 1:100, sep='')

aurocs <- neighbor_voting(genes.labels, net, output = 'AUROC') 

avgprcs <- neighbor_voting(genes.labels, net, output = 'PR')
