Arguments

x

TreeSummarizedExperiment.

...

additional arguments passed to vegan::cca or vegan::dbrda and other internal functions.

  • method a dissimilarity measure to be applied in dbRDA and possible following homogeneity test. (Default: "euclidean")

  • scale: Logical scalar. Should the expression values be standardized? scale is disabled when using *RDA functions. Please scale before performing RDA. (Default: TRUE)

  • na.action: function. Action to take when missing values for any of the variables in formula are encountered. (Default: na.fail)

  • full Logical scalar. Should all the results from the significance calculations be returned. When FALSE, only summary tables are returned. (Default: FALSE)

  • homogeneity.test: Character scalar. Specifies the significance test used to analyse vegan::betadisper results. Options include 'permanova' (vegan::permutest), 'anova' (stats::anova) and 'tukeyhsd' (stats::TukeyHSD). (Default: "permanova")

  • permutations: Integer scalar. Specifies the number of permutations for significance testing in vegan::anova.cca. (Default: 999)

  • subset.result: Logical result. Specifies whether to subset x to match the result if some samples were removed during calculation. (Default: TRUE)

formula

formula. If x is a SummarizedExperiment a formula can be supplied. Based on the right-hand side of the given formula colData is subset to col.var.

col.var and formula can be missing, which turns the CCA analysis into a CA analysis and dbRDA into PCoA/MDS.

data

data.frame or coarcible to one. The covariance table including covariates defined by formula.

col.var

Character scalar. When x is a SummarizedExperiment,col.var can be used to specify variables from colData.

variables

Deprecated. Use col.var instead.

test.signif

Logical scalar. Should the PERMANOVA and analysis of multivariate homogeneity of group dispersions be performed. (Default: TRUE)

assay.type

Character scalar. Specifies the name of assay used in calculation. (Default: "counts")

assay_name

Deprecated. Use assay.type instead.

exprs_values

Deprecated. Use assay.type instead.

altexp

Character scalar or integer scalar. Specifies an alternative experiment containing the input data.

name

Character scalar. A name for the reducedDim() where results will be stored. (Default: "CCA")

Value

For getCCA a matrix with samples as rows and CCA dimensions as columns. Attributes include output from scores, eigenvalues, the cca/rda object and significance analysis results.

For addCCA a modified x with the results stored in reducedDim as the given name.

Details

*CCA functions utilize vegan:cca and *RDA functions vegan:dbRDA. By default, dbRDA is done with euclidean distances, which is equivalent to RDA. col.var and formula can be missing, which turns the CCA analysis into a CA analysis and dbRDA into PCoA/MDS.

Significance tests are done with vegan:anova.cca (PERMANOVA). Group dispersion, i.e., homogeneity within groups is analyzed with vegan::betadisper (multivariate homogeneity of groups dispersions (variances)) and statistical significance of homogeneity is tested with a test specified by homogeneity.test parameter.
