Description

Shen (2009) proposed a latent variable regression with a lasso constraint for joint modeling of multiple omics data types to identify common latent variables that can be used to cluster patient samples into biologically and clinically relevant disease subtypes.
This function is based on the R package "iCluster". The R package "iCluster" should be installed. We write a shell to unify the input and output format. It is helpful for the standardized flow of cancer subtypes analysis and validation. The parameters is compatible to the original R package "iCluster" function "iCluster2()".
Please note: The data matrices are transposed in our function comparing to the original R package "iCluster" on the behalf of the unified input format with other functions. We try to build a standardized flow for cancer subtypes analysis and validation.

Usage

2
ExecuteiCluster(datasets, k, lambda = NULL, scale = TRUE, scalar = FALSE,
  max.iter = 10)

Arguments

datasets

A list containing data matrices. For each data matrix, the rows represent genomic features, and the columns represent samples. In order to unify the input parameter with other clustering methods, the data matrices are transposed comparing to the definition in the original "iCluster" package.

k

Number of subtypes for the samples

lambda

Penalty term for the coefficient matrix of the iCluster model

scale

Logical value. If true, the genomic features in the matrix is centered.

scalar

Logical value. If true, a degenerate version assuming scalar covariance matrix is used.

max.iter

maximum iteration for the EM algorithm

Details

For iCluster algorithm, it cannot process high-dimensional data, otherwise it is very very time-consuming or reports a mistake. Based on test, it could smoothly run for the matrix with around 1500 features. Normally it need feature selection step first to reduce feature number.

Value

A list with the following elements.
