cross.platform.consensus: Compute the cross platform consensus copy number given a...

In mpcbs: Multi-sample and Multiplatform CNV.

Description

Estimate cross-platform consensus copy number given multi-platform copy number data and a segmentation. This is done by minimizing a weighted least squares criterion.

Usage

cross.platform.consensus(segs, sigma2, platform.names, plots = TRUE)

Arguments

segs	A listed of cross-platform segmentations, returned by mpcbs.mbic.
sigma2	A computed variance for each platform (see example below).
platform.names	A list of names for each platform.
plots	A logical indicating whether to make diagnostic plots.

Value

converged	A logical indicating whether the weighted least squares has converged.
consensus.cn	A vector of same length as segs, consensus.cn[[k]] is the consensus copy number estimate over the anchor positions for the segmentation contained in segs[[k]].
alpha	The fitted platform specific offset.
r	The fitted platform specific response ratio.
theta	Fitted intensity for each platform in each segment.

Examples

data(mpcbs.example)

# there are 3 platforms represented in this data example: Illumina, Affymetrix, and Agilent.
names(mpcbs.example)

# K is the number of platforms.
K=3

# Store the chromosome positions in vector pos,
# the intensities in vector y:

pos=vector("list",K)
pos[[1]] = mpcbs.example$illu[,1]
pos[[2]] = mpcbs.example$affy[,1]
pos[[3]] = mpcbs.example$agil[,1]

y = vector("list",K)
y[[1]] = mpcbs.example$illu[,2]
y[[2]] = mpcbs.example$affy[,2]
y[[3]] = mpcbs.example$agil[,2]

# Names of the platforms:
platform.names=c("Illumina","Affymetrix","Agilent")

# Get the anchor set.
anchor = merge.pos(pos)

# Perform the segmentation.
seg<-mpcbs.mbic(y,pos,anchor, MAX.CHPTS=10, platform.names=platform.names,plots=TRUE)

# Compute platform specific variance terms.
sigma2 = rep(0,K)
for(k in 1:K) sigma2[k] = compute.var(y[[k]])
# When data from multiple chromosomes are available,
# put them in the list "segs".  Now, the list has length 1.
segs=vector("list",1)
segs[[1]] = seg
res=cross.platform.consensus(segs, sigma2, platform.names, plots=TRUE)
consensus.cn = res$consensus.cn[[1]]    # consensus.cn[t] is consensus copy number estimate at anchor$merged.pos[t]

# Finally, plot the cross platform consensus.

# Set parameter num.panels to K+1 (default is K), because we will plot consensus in (K+1)th panel.
