In ClueR: Cluster Evaluation

Run CLUster Evaluation

Description

Takes in a time-course matrix and test for enrichment of the clustering using cmeans or kmeans clustering algorithm with a reference annotation.

Usage

runClue(
  Tc,
  annotation,
  rep = 5,
  kRange = 2:10,
  clustAlg = "cmeans",
  effectiveSize = c(5, 100),
  pvalueCutoff = 0.05,
  alpha = 0.5,
  standardise = TRUE,
  universe = NULL
)

Arguments

Tc	a numeric matrix to be clustered. The columns correspond to the time-course and the rows correspond to phosphorylation sites.
annotation	a list with names correspond to kinases and elements correspond to substrates belong to each kinase.
rep	number of times the clustering is to be applied. This is to account for variability in the clustering algorithm. Default is 5.
kRange	the range of k to be tested for clustering. Default is 2:10
clustAlg	the clustering algorithm to be used. The default is cmeans clustering.
effectiveSize	the size of annotation groups to be considered for calculating enrichment. Groups that are too small or too large will be removed from calculating overall enrichment of the clustering.
pvalueCutoff	a pvalue cutoff for determining which kinase-substrate groups to be included in calculating overall enrichment of the clustering.
alpha	a regularisation factor for penalizing large number of clusters.
standardise	whether to z-score standardise the input matrix.
universe	the universe of genes/proteins/phosphosites etc. that the enrichment is calculated against. The default are the row names of the dataset.

Value

a clue output that contains the input parameters used for evaluation and the evaluation results. Use ls(x) to see details of output. 'x' be the output here.

Examples

## Example 1. Running CLUE with a simulated phosphoproteomics data

## simulate a time-series phosphoproteomics data with 4 clusters and
## each cluster with a size of 100 phosphosites
simuData <- temporalSimu(seed=1, groupSize=100, sdd=1, numGroups=4)

## create an artificial annotation database. Specifically, Generate 50
## kinase-substrate groups each comprising 20 substrates assigned to a kinase. 
## Among them, create 5 groups each contains phosphosites defined 
## to have the same temporal profile.

kinaseAnno <- list()
groupSize <- 100
for (i in 1:5) {
  kinaseAnno[[i]] <- paste("p", (groupSize*(i-1)+1):(groupSize*(i-1)+20), sep="_")
}

for (i in 6:50) {
  set.seed(i)
  kinaseAnno[[i]] <- paste("p", sample.int(nrow(simuData), size = 20), sep="_")
}
names(kinaseAnno) <- paste("KS", 1:50, sep="_")

## run CLUE with a repeat of 3 times and a range from 2 to 8
set.seed(1)
cl <- runClue(Tc=simuData, annotation=kinaseAnno, rep=3, kRange=2:8, 
              standardise = TRUE, universe = NULL)

## visualize the evaluation outcome
boxplot(cl$evlMat, col=rainbow(8), las=2, xlab="# cluster", ylab="Enrichment", main="CLUE")

## generate optimal clustering results using the optimal k determined by CLUE
best <- clustOptimal(cl, rep=3, mfrow=c(2, 3))

## list enriched clusters
best$enrichList

## obtain the optimal clustering object
best$clustObj

## Example 2. Running CLUE with a phosphoproteomics dataset, discover optimal number of clusters, 
## clustering data accordingly, and identify key kinases involved in each cluster.

## load the human ES phosphoprotoemics data (Rigbolt et al. Sci Signal. 4(164):rs3, 2011)
data(hES)
# load the PhosphoSitePlus annotations (Hornbeck et al. Nucleic Acids Res. 40:D261-70, 2012)
# note that one can instead use PhosphoELM database by typing "data(PhosphoELM)".
data(PhosphoSite)

## run CLUE with a repeat of 5 times and a range from 2 to 15
set.seed(1)
cl <- runClue(Tc=hES, annotation=PhosphoSite.human, rep=5, kRange=2:15, 
              standardise = TRUE, universe = NULL)

boxplot(cl$evlMat, col=rainbow(15), las=2, xlab="# cluster", ylab="Enrichment", main="CLUE")

best <- clustOptimal(cl, rep=3, mfrow=c(4, 4))

best$enrichList

## Example 3. Running CLUE with a gene expression dataset, discover optimal number of clusters, 
## clustering data accordingly, and identify key pathway involved in each cluster.

## load mouse adipocyte gene expression data 
# (Ma et al. Molecular and Cellular Biology. 2014, 34(19):3607-17)
data(adipocyte)

## load the KEGG annotations
## note that one can instead use reactome, GOBP, biocarta database
data(Pathways)

## select genes that are differentially expressed during adipocyte differentiation
adipocyte.selected <- adipocyte[adipocyte[,"DE"] == 1,]

## run CLUE with a repeat of 5 times and a range from 10 to 22

set.seed(3)
cl <- runClue(Tc=adipocyte.selected, annotation=Pathways.KEGG, rep=3, kRange=10:20, 
              standardise = TRUE, universe = NULL)

xl <- "Number of clusters"
yl <- "Enrichment score"
boxplot(cl$evlMat, col=rainbow(ncol(cl$evlMat)), las=2, xlab=xl, ylab=yl, main="CLUE")
