These functions perform Non-negative Matrix Factorization on data stored in a TreeSummarizedExperiment object.

getNMF(x, ...)

addNMF(x, ...)

# S4 method for class 'SummarizedExperiment'
getNMF(x, k = 2, assay.type = "counts", eval.metric = "evar", ...)

# S4 method for class 'SummarizedExperiment'
addNMF(
  x,
  k = 2,
  assay.type = "counts",
  eval.metric = "evar",
  name = "NMF",
  ...
)

Arguments

x

a TreeSummarizedExperiment object.

...

optional arguments passed to nmf::NMF.

k

numeric vector. A number of latent vectors/topics. (Default: 2)

assay.type

Character scalar. Specifies which assay to use for NMF ordination. (Default: "counts")

eval.metric

Character scalar. Specifies the evaluation metric that will be used to select the model with the best fit. Must be one of the following options: "evar" (explained variance; maximized), "sparseness.basis" (degree of sparsity in the basis matrix; maximized), "sparseness.coef" (degree of sparsity in the coefficient matrix; maximized), "rss" (residual sum of squares; minimized), "silhouette.coef" (quality of clustering based on the coefficient matrix; maximized), "silhouette.basis" (quality of clustering based on the basis matrix; maximized), "cophenetic" (correlation between cophenetic distances and original distances; maximized), "dispersion" (spread of data points within clusters; minimized). (Default: "evar")

name

Character scalar. The name to be used to store the result in the reducedDims of the output. (Default: "NMF")

Value

For getNMF, the ordination matrix with feature loadings matrix as attribute "loadings".

For addNMF, a TreeSummarizedExperiment object is returned containing the ordination matrix in reducedDims(x, name) with the following attributes:

  • "loadings" which is a matrix containing the feature loadings

  • "NMF_output" which is the output of function nmf::NMF

  • "best_fit" which is the result of the best fit if k is a vector of integers

Details

The functions getNMF and addNMF internally use nmf::NMF compute the ordination matrix and feature loadings.

If k is a vector of integers, NMF output is calculated for all the rank values contained in k, and the best fit is selected based on eval.metric value.

tse <- agglomerateByPrevalence(tse, rank = "Phylum")

# Run NMF and add the result to reducedDim(tse, "NMF").
