Build multiple networks and select the best one from a multi-omics data set

Description

bs() wraps the two main functions of the package in a single one: coglasso(), to build multiple multi-omics networks, and select_coglasso() to select the best one according to the chosen criterion.

Usage

bs(
  data,
  p = NULL,
  pX = lifecycle::deprecated(),
  lambda_w = NULL,
  lambda_b = NULL,
  c = NULL,
  nlambda_w = NULL,
  nlambda_b = NULL,
  nc = NULL,
  lambda_w_max = NULL,
  lambda_b_max = NULL,
  c_max = NULL,
  lambda_w_min_ratio = NULL,
  lambda_b_min_ratio = NULL,
  c_min = NULL,
  icov_guess = NULL,
  cov_output = FALSE,
  lock_lambdas = FALSE,
  method = "xestars",
  stars_thresh = 0.1,
  stars_subsample_ratio = NULL,
  rep_num = 20,
  max_iter = 10,
  old_sampling = FALSE,
  ebic_gamma = 0.5,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

Details

When using bs(), first, coglasso() estimates multiple multi-omics networks with the algorithm collaborative graphical lasso, one for each combination of input values for the hyperparameters \lambda_w, \lambda_b and c. Then, select_coglasso() selects the best combination of hyperparameters given to coglasso() according to the selected model selection method. The three availble options that can be set for the argument method are "xstars", "xestars" and "ebic". For more information on these selection methods, visit the help page of select_coglasso().

Value

bs() returns an object of S3 class select_coglasso containing several elements. The most important is probably sel_adj, the adjacency matrix of the selected network. Some output elements depend on the chosen model selection method.
These elements are always returned, and they are the result of network estimation with coglasso():

• loglik is a numerical vector containing the log likelihoods of all the estimated networks.

• density is a numerical vector containing a measure of the density of all the estimated networks.

• df is an integer vector containing the degrees of freedom of all the estimated networks.

• convergence is a binary vector containing whether a network was successfully estimated for the given combination of hyperparameters or not.

• path is a list containing the adjacency matrices of all the estimated networks.

• icov is a list containing the inverse covariance matrices of all the estimated networks.

• nexploded is the number of combinations of hyperparameters for which coglasso() failed to converge.

• data is the input multi-omics data set.

• hpars is the ordered table of all the combinations of hyperparameters given as input to bs(), with \alpha(\lambda_w+\lambda_b) being the key to sort rows.

• lambda_w, lambda_b, and c are numerical vectors with, respectively, all the \lambda_w, \lambda_b, and c values bs() used.

• p is the vector with the number of variables for each omic layer of the data set.

• D is the number of omics layers in the data set.

• cov optional, returned when cov_output is TRUE, is a list containing the variance-covariance matrices of all the estimated networks.

These elements are returned by all selection methods available:

• sel_index_c, sel_index_lw and sel_index_lb are the indexes of the final selected parameters c, \lambda_w and \lambda_b leading to the most stable sparse network.

• sel_c, sel_lambda_w and sel_lambda_b are the final selected parameters c, \lambda_w and \lambda_b leading to the most stable sparse network.

• sel_adj is the adjacency matrix of the final selected network.

• sel_density is the density of the final selected network.

• sel_icov is the inverse covariance matrix of the final selected network.

• sel_cov optional, given only when coglasso() was called with cov_output = TRUE. It is the covariance matrix associated with the final selected network.

• call is the matched call.

• method is the chosen model selection method.

These are the additional elements returned when choosing "xestars" or "xstars":

• merge is the "merged" adjacency matrix, the average of all the adjacency matrices estimated across all the different subsamples for the selected combination of \lambda_w, \lambda_b, and c values in the last path explored before convergence. Each entry is a measure of how recurrent the corresponding edge is across the subsamples.

• variability_lw, variability_lb and variability_c are numeric vectors of as many items as the number of \lambda_w, \lambda_b, and c values explored. Each item is the variability of the network estimated for the corresponding hyperparameter value, keeping the other two hyperparameters fixed to their selected value.

• sel_variability is the variability of the final selected network.

These are the additional elements returned when choosing "ebic":

• ebic_scores is a numerical vector containing the eBIC scores for all the hyperparameter combination.

Examples

# Suggested usage: give the input data set, set the values for `p` and the 
# number of hyperparameters to explore (to choose how extensively to explore 
# the possible hyperparameters). Then, let the default behavior do the rest:

sel_mo_net <- bs(multi_omics_sd_micro, p = c(4, 2), nlambda_w = 3, 
                 nlambda_b = 3, nc = 3, verbose = FALSE)

Extract a coglasso network

Description

get_network() extracts the selected network from a select_coglasso object, or a different specific one from either a select_coglasso or a coglasso object when specifying the optional parameters.

Usage

get_network(sel_cg_obj, index_c = NULL, index_lw = NULL, index_lb = NULL)

Arguments

Details

If the input is a coglasso object, it is necessary to specify all the indexes to extract the chosen network.
If the input is a select_coglasso object, it extracts by default the selected network. If the selection method was "ebic", and you want to extract a different network than the selected one, specify all indexes. Otherwise, if the objective is to extract the optimal network for a specific c value different than the selected one, set index_c to your chosen one. Also here it is possible to extract a specific non-optimal network by setting all the indexes to the chosen ones.

Value

get_network() returns the selected network, in the form of an object of class igraph.

Examples

sel_cg <- bs(multi_omics_sd_micro, p = c(4, 2), nlambda_w = 3, nlambda_b = 3,
                 nc = 3, verbose = FALSE)
sel_net <- get_network(sel_cg)
# Could even plot the selected network with plot(sel_net), but then it would
# plot an unnotated network, better to directly plot(sel_cg).
print(sel_net)

Plot selected coglasso networks

Description

plot.select_coglasso() creates an annotated plot of a coglasso selected network from an object of S3 class select_coglasso. Variables from different data sets will have different color coding. To plot the network, it's enough to use plot() call on the select_coglasso object.

plot.coglasso() has the same functioning as select_coglasso.plot(), but from an object of S3 class coglasso. In this case, it is compulsory to specify index_c, index_lw, and index_lb.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'select_coglasso'
plot(
  x,
  index_c = NULL,
  index_lw = NULL,
  index_lb = NULL,
  node_labels = TRUE,
  hide_isolated = TRUE,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'coglasso'
plot(
  x,
  index_c,
  index_lw,
  index_lb,
  node_labels = TRUE,
  hide_isolated = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

Details

If the input is a coglasso object, it is necessary to specify all the indexes to extract the chosen network.
If the input is a select_coglasso object, it extracts by default the selected network. If the selection method was "ebic", and you want to extract a different network than the selected one, specify all indexes. Otherwise, if the objective is to extract the optimal network for a specific c value different than the selected one, set index_c to your chosen one. Also here it is possible to extract a specific non-optimal network by setting all the indexes to the chosen ones.

Value

Returns NULL, invisibly.

Select the best coglasso network

Description

select_coglasso() selects the best combination of hyperparameters given to coglasso() according to the selected model selection method. The three availble options that can be set for the argument method are "xstars", "xestars" and "ebic".

Usage

select_coglasso(
  coglasso_obj,
  method = "xestars",
  stars_thresh = 0.1,
  stars_subsample_ratio = NULL,
  rep_num = 20,
  max_iter = 10,
  old_sampling = FALSE,
  ebic_gamma = 0.5,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

Details

select_coglasso() provides three model selection strategies:

• "xstars" uses eXtended StARS (XStARS) selecting the most stable, yet sparse network. Stability is computed upon network estimation from multiple subsamples of the multi-omics data set, allowing repetition. Subsamples are collected for a fixed amount of times (rep_num), and with a fixed proportion of the total number of samples (stars_subsample_ratio). See xstars() for more information on the methodology.

• "xestars" uses eXtended Efficient StARS (XEStARS), a significantly faster version of XStARS. It could produce marginally different results to "xstars" due to a different sampling strategy. See xestars() for more information on the methodology.

• "ebic" uses the extended Bayesian Information Criterion (eBIC) selecting the network that minimizes it. gamma sets the wait given to the extended component, turning the model selection method to the standard BIC if set to 0.

Value

select_coglasso() returns an object of S3 class select_coglasso containing the results of the selection procedure, built upon an object of S3 class coglasso. Some output elements depend on the chosen model selection method.
These elements are returned by all methods:

• ... are the same elements returned by coglasso().

• sel_index_c, sel_index_lw and sel_index_lb are the indexes of the final selected parameters c, \lambda_w and \lambda_b leading to the most stable sparse network.

• sel_c, sel_lambda_w and sel_lambda_b are the final selected parameters c, \lambda_w and \lambda_b leading to the most stable sparse network.

• sel_adj is the adjacency matrix of the final selected network.

• sel_density is the density of the final selected network.

• sel_icov is the inverse covariance matrix of the final selected network.

• sel_cov optional, given only when coglasso() was called with cov_output = TRUE. It is the covariance matrix associated with the final selected network.

• call is the matched call.

• method is the chosen model selection method.

These are the additional elements returned when choosing "xestars" or "xstars":

• merge is the "merged" adjacency matrix, the average of all the adjacency matrices estimated across all the different subsamples for the selected combination of \lambda_w, \lambda_b, and c values in the last path explored before convergence. Each entry is a measure of how recurrent the corresponding edge is across the subsamples.

• variability_lw, variability_lb and variability_c are numeric vectors of as many items as the number of \lambda_w, \lambda_b, and c values explored. Each item is the variability of the network estimated for the corresponding hyperparameter value, keeping the other two hyperparameters fixed to their selected value.

• sel_variability is the variability of the final selected network.

These are the additional elements returned when choosing "ebic":

• ebic_scores is a numerical vector containing the eBIC scores for all the hyperparameter combination.

Examples

cg <- coglasso(multi_omics_sd_micro, p = c(4, 2), nlambda_w = 3, 
               nlambda_b = 3, nc = 3, verbose = FALSE)
# Using eXtended Efficient StARS, takes less than five seconds
sel_cg_xestars <- select_coglasso(cg, method = "xestars", verbose = FALSE)

# Using eXtended StARS, takes around a minute
sel_cg_xstars <- select_coglasso(cg, method = "xstars", verbose = FALSE)

# Using eBIC
sel_cg_ebic <- select_coglasso(cg, method = "ebic", verbose = FALSE)

Stability selection of the best coglasso network

Description

stars_coglasso() was deprecated in favor of xstars() as the function name does not reflect properly the method it implements. The new function also allows new memory-lighter and faster possibilities.

Usage

stars_coglasso(
  coglasso_obj,
  stars_thresh = 0.1,
  stars_subsample_ratio = NULL,
  rep_num = 20,
  max_iter = 10,
  verbose = FALSE
)

Examples

cg <- coglasso(multi_omics_sd_micro, p = c(4, 2), nlambda_w = 3, 
               nlambda_b = 3, nc = 3, verbose = FALSE)

# Deprecated, use xstars() instead. Takes around one minute
sel_cg <- stars_coglasso(cg, verbose = FALSE)
# ->
sel_cg <- xstars(cg, verbose = FALSE)

Efficient stability selection of the best coglasso network

Description

xestars() provides a more efficient and lighter implementation than xstars() to select the combination of hyperparameters given to coglasso() yielding the most stable, yet sparse network. Stability is computed upon network estimation from multiple subsamples of the multi-omics data set, allowing repetition. Subsamples are collected for a fixed amount of times (rep_num), and with a fixed proportion of the total number of samples (stars_subsample_ratio).

Usage

xestars(
  coglasso_obj,
  stars_thresh = 0.1,
  stars_subsample_ratio = NULL,
  rep_num = 20,
  max_iter = 10,
  old_sampling = FALSE,
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

Details

eXtended Efficient StARS (XEStARS) is a more efficient and memory-light version of XStARS, the adaptation for collaborative graphical regression of the method published by Liu, H. et al. (2010): Stability Approach to Regularization Selection (StARS). StARS was developed for network estimation regulated by a single penalty parameter, while collaborative graphical lasso needs to explore three different hyperparameters. These all have, to different degree, a direct influence on network sparsity, hence on stability. For every iteration, xstars() explores one of the three parameters (\lambda_w, \lambda_b, or c), keeping the other ones fixed at their previous selected estimate, using the normal, one-dimentional StARS approach, until finding the best combination of the three. What makes it more efficient than xstars() is the different way that the stability check is implemented in the two algorithms. In xstars() (and even in the original StARS), the stability check is performed, for example, for every \lambda_w value (or \lambda_b, or c), until all values are explored, and then it when the algorithm selects the one yielding the most stable, yet sparse network, and only then switching to the selection of the following hyperparameter. In xestars(), the stability check becomes a stopping criterion. The moment that the stability threshold is passed, the value of the hyperparameter currently being selected is fixed, and the switch to the next one happens immediately, without exploring the whole landscape. This reduces sensibly the number of iterations before convergence to a final network.
The original XStARS computes a new subsampling for every time the algorithm switches from optimizing \lambda_w, \lambda_b, or c. This does not allow to compare the hyperparameters on an equal ground, and can slow the selection down with bigger data set or a larger hyperparameter space. To allow a similar subsampling to xstars(), the old_sampling parameter has been implemented. If set to TRUE, the subsampling is similar to the one xstars() would perform. Otherwise, the subsampling is performed at the beginning of the algorithm once and for all its iterations.

Value

xestars() returns an object of S3 class select_coglasso containing the results of the selection procedure, built upon the object of S3 class coglasso returned by coglasso().

• ... are the same elements returned by coglasso().

• merge is the "merged" adjacency matrix, the average of all the adjacency matrices estimated across all the different subsamples for the selected combination of \lambda_w, \lambda_b, and c values in the last path explored before convergence. Each entry is a measure of how recurrent the corresponding edge is across the subsamples.

• variability_lw, variability_lb and variability_c are numeric vectors of as many items as the number of \lambda_w, \lambda_b, and c values explored. Each item is the variability of the network estimated for the corresponding hyperparameter value, keeping the other two hyperparameters fixed to their selected value.

• sel_index_c, sel_index_lw and sel_index_lb are the indexes of the final selected parameters c, \lambda_w and \lambda_b leading to the most stable sparse network.

• sel_c, sel_lambda_w and sel_lambda_b are the final selected parameters c, \lambda_w and \lambda_b leading to the most stable sparse network.

• sel_adj is the adjacency matrix of the final selected network.

• sel_variability is the variability of the final selected network.

• sel_density is the density of the final selected network.

• sel_icov is the inverse covariance matrix of the final selected network.

• sel_cov optional, given only when coglasso() was called with cov_output = TRUE. It is the covariance matrix associated with the final selected network.

• call is the matched call.

• method is the chosen model selection method. Here, it is "xestars".

cg <- coglasso(multi_omics_sd_micro, p = c(4, 2), nlambda_w = 3, 
               nlambda_b = 3, nc = 3, verbose = FALSE)
