Summary

In this set of simulations, we consider settings with both null and non-null tests with varying levels of informativeness of an informative covariate. The covariate is sampled uniformly from the interval [0, 1], and the conditional probability of a test being non-null is a smooth function of the covariate taking values between 0 and 1 based on the logistic function.

For all settings, the marginal proportion of null hypotheses is set to 80%. A tuning parameter is used to modify the informativeness of the covariate such that 0 corresponds to a completely uninformative covariate, and increasing "informativeness" corresponds to more non-null tests concentrating in a smaller range of the covariate. The functional relationship between the covariate and the null probability over varying informativeness is shown below.

As described in simulations-null.Rmd, we include Scott's FDR Regression in the analysis for simulations with Gaussian test statistics. Again, we include both nulltype = "empirical" and nulltype = "theoretical". Since all settings in this series of simulations use test statistics simulated with Gaussian test statistics, we include Scott's FDR Regression in all of the comparisons.

bdplus <- bd
bdplus <- addBMethod(bdplus, "fdrreg-t",
                     FDRreg::FDRreg,
                     function(x) { x$FDR },
                     z = test_statistic,
                     features = model.matrix( ~  splines::bs(ind_covariate, df = 3) - 1),
                     nulltype = 'theoretical',
                     control = list(lambda = 0.01))
bdplus <- addBMethod(bdplus, "fdrreg-e",
                     FDRreg::FDRreg,
                     function(x) { x$FDR },
                     z = test_statistic,
                     features = model.matrix( ~  splines::bs(ind_covariate, df = 3) - 1),
                     nulltype = 'empirical',
                     control = list(lambda = 0.01))

All simulation settings will share the following parameters.

m <- 20000                        # integer: number of hypothesis tests
es_dist <- rnorm_generator(2)       # functional: dist of alternative test stats
ts_dist <- rnorm_perturber(1)  # functional: sampling dist/noise for test stats
null_dist <- rnorm_2pvaluer(1)    # functional: dist to calc p-values
icovariate <- runif               # functional: independent covariate

Simulation results will be presented excluding a subset of methods, and for certain plots (upset plots), a single alpha cutoff will be used.

excludeSet <- c("unadjusted", "bl-df02", "bl-df04", "bl-df05")
ualpha <- 0.05

First, we show the form of the relationship between the informative covariate and null proportion, pi0, across varying levels of "informativeness."

xseq <- seq(0, 1, by = .01)
pi0trends <- lapply(seq(0, 1, by = .2), function(i) {
    tibble(info = i, x = xseq,
           pi0 = pi0_varyinfo80l(i)(xseq))
})
pi0trends <- bind_rows(pi0trends)

ggplot(pi0trends, aes(x = x, y = pi0)) +
    geom_line() +
    geom_text(aes(label = round(pi0, 3), hjust = x, vjust = round(pi0)),
              dplyr::filter(pi0trends, x == 0 | x == 1),
              size = 3, color = 'blue') + 
    theme_bw() +
    scale_x_continuous("x (informative covariate)", breaks = 0:1) +
    scale_y_continuous(labels = scales::percent) +
    facet_grid(. ~ info, labeller = label_both) +
    ggtitle("Covariate vs. pi0 for varying informativeness")

Informativeness = 0 Setting

First, we consider the setting where the informativeness is 0.

Data Simulation

pi0 <- pi0_varyinfo80l(0.00)             # numeric: proportion of null hypotheses

We next run the simulations.

Covariate Diagnostics

Here, we show the relationship between the independent covariate and p-values for a single replication of the experiment.

Benchmark Metrics

We plot the averaged results across r B replications.

We also take a look at the distribution of rejects for each method as a function of the effect size and independent covariate.

covariateLinePlot(res_i, alpha = ualpha, covname = "effect_size")

covariateLinePlot(res_i, alpha = ualpha, covname = "ind_covariate")

Finally, (if enough methods produce rejections at r ualpha) we take a look at the overlap of rejections between methods.

} else {
    message("Not enough methods found rejections at alpha ", ualpha, 
            "; skipping upset plot")
}

We also compare the simulation results with and without an informative covariate.

res_i <- lapply(res, `[[`, "informative")
res_u <- lapply(res, `[[`, "uninformative")

Covariate Diagnostics

Here, we show the relationship between the independent covariate and p-values for a single replication of the experiment.

onerun <- simIteration(bdplus, m = m, pi0 = pi0, es_dist = es_dist, ts_dist = ts_dist,
                       icovariate = icovariate, null_dist = null_dist, execute = FALSE)
rank_scatter(onerun, pvalue = "pval", covariate = "ind_covariate")
strat_hist(onerun, pvalue = "pval", covariate = "ind_covariate", maxy = 10, numQ = 3)

Benchmark Metrics

We plot the averaged results across r B replications.

resdf <- plotsim_standardize(res_i, alpha = seq(0.01, 0.10, 0.01))

plotsim_average(resdf, met="rejections", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE) 

plotsim_average(resdf, met="FDR", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE) 

plotsim_average(resdf, met="TPR", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE) 

plotsim_average(resdf, met="TNR", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE) 

We also take a look at the distribution of rejects for each method as a function of the effect size and independent covariate.

covariateLinePlot(res_i, alpha = ualpha, covname = "effect_size")

covariateLinePlot(res_i, alpha = ualpha, covname = "ind_covariate")

Finally, (if enough methods produce rejections at r ualpha) we take a look at the overlap of rejections between methods.

if (numberMethodsReject(resdf, alphacutoff = ualpha, filterSet = excludeSet) >= 3) {
    aggupset(res_i, alpha = ualpha, supplementary = FALSE, return_list = FALSE)
} else {
    message("Not enough methods found rejections at alpha ", ualpha, 
            "; skipping upset plot")
}

We also compare the simulation results with and without an informative covariate.

resdfu <- plotsim_standardize(res_u, alpha = seq(0.01, 0.10, 0.01))

resdfiu <- dplyr::full_join(select(resdf, rep, blabel, param.alpha, key,
                                   performanceMetric, alpha, value),
                            select(resdfu, rep, blabel, param.alpha, key,
                                   performanceMetric, alpha, value),
                            by = c("rep", "blabel", "param.alpha", "key",
                                   "performanceMetric", "alpha"),
                            suffix = c(".info", ".uninfo"))
resdfiu <- dplyr::mutate(resdfiu, value = value.info - value.uninfo)

plotsim_average(resdfiu, met="rejections", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE, diffplot = TRUE)

plotsim_average(resdfiu, met="FDR", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE, diffplot = TRUE)

plotsim_average(resdfiu, met="TPR", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE, diffplot = TRUE)

plotsim_average(resdfiu, met="TNR", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE, diffplot = TRUE)

Informativeness = 100 Setting

Finally, we consider the setting where the informativeness is 1.00.

Data Simulation

pi0 <- pi0_varyinfo80l(1.00)             # numeric: proportion of null hypotheses
seed <- 808

We next run the simulations.

if (file.exists(info100_file)) {
    res <- readRDS(info100_file)
} else {
    res <- mclapply(X = 1:B, FUN = simIteration, bench = bdplus, m = m,
                    pi0 = pi0, es_dist = es_dist, icovariate = icovariate,
                    ts_dist = ts_dist, null_dist = null_dist,
                    seed = seed, mc.cores = cores)
    saveRDS(res, file = info100_file)
}
res_i <- lapply(res, `[[`, "informative")
res_u <- lapply(res, `[[`, "uninformative")

Covariate Diagnostics

Here, we show the relationship between the independent covariate and p-values for a single replication of the experiment.

onerun <- simIteration(bdplus, m = m, pi0 = pi0, es_dist = es_dist, ts_dist = ts_dist,
                       icovariate = icovariate, null_dist = null_dist, execute = FALSE)
rank_scatter(onerun, pvalue = "pval", covariate = "ind_covariate")
strat_hist(onerun, pvalue = "pval", covariate = "ind_covariate", maxy = 10, numQ = 3)

Benchmark Metrics

We plot the averaged results across r B replications.

resdf <- plotsim_standardize(res_i, alpha = seq(0.01, 0.10, 0.01))

plotsim_average(resdf, met="rejections", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE) 

plotsim_average(resdf, met="FDR", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE) 

plotsim_average(resdf, met="TPR", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE) 

plotsim_average(resdf, met="TNR", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE) 

We also take a look at the distribution of rejects for each method as a function of the effect size and independent covariate.

covariateLinePlot(res_i, alpha = ualpha, covname = "effect_size")

covariateLinePlot(res_i, alpha = ualpha, covname = "ind_covariate")

Finally, (if enough methods produce rejections at r ualpha) we take a look at the overlap of rejections between methods.

if (numberMethodsReject(resdf, alphacutoff = ualpha, filterSet = excludeSet) >= 3) {
    aggupset(res_i, alpha = ualpha, supplementary = FALSE, return_list = FALSE)
} else {
    message("Not enough methods found rejections at alpha ", ualpha, 
            "; skipping upset plot")
}

We also compare the simulation results with and without an informative covariate.

resdfu <- plotsim_standardize(res_u, alpha = seq(0.01, 0.10, 0.01))

resdfiu <- dplyr::full_join(select(resdf, rep, blabel, param.alpha, key,
                                   performanceMetric, alpha, value),
                            select(resdfu, rep, blabel, param.alpha, key,
                                   performanceMetric, alpha, value),
                            by = c("rep", "blabel", "param.alpha", "key",
                                   "performanceMetric", "alpha"),
                            suffix = c(".info", ".uninfo"))
resdfiu <- dplyr::mutate(resdfiu, value = value.info - value.uninfo)

plotsim_average(resdfiu, met="rejections", filter_set = excludeSet,
                merge_ihw = TRUE, errorBars = TRUE, diffplot = TRUE)
