ssea.analyze.observe: Collect enrichment score statistics for MSEA
In Mergeomics: Integrative network analysis of omics data

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) References See Also Examples

ssea.analyze.observe obtains the observed enrichment scores of the pathways or modules by a given marker set (e.g. GWAS loci data of a disease) depending on the observation frequencies of this markers in the pathways.

1	ssea.analyze.observe(db)

db

database including the indexed identities for modules, genes and marker:

modulesizes: gene counts for modules.
modulelengths: distinct marker counts for modules.
moduledensities: ratio between distinct and non-distinct 
markers.
genesizes: marker count for each gene.
module2genes: gene lists for each module.
gene2loci: marker lists for each gene.
locus2row: row indices in the marker data frame for each 
marker.
observed: matrix of observed counts of values that exceed
each quantile point for each marker.
expected: 1.0 - quantile points.

## ssea.start() process takes long time while merging the genes sharing high
## amounts of markers (e.g. loci). it is performed with full module list in
## the vignettes. Here, we used a very subset of the module list (1st 10 mods
## from the original module file) and we collected the corresponding genes
## and markers belonging to these modules:
moddata <- tool.read(job.msea$modfile)
gendata <- tool.read(job.msea$genfile)
mardata <- tool.read(job.msea$marfile)
mod.names <- unique(moddata$MODULE)[1:min(length(unique(moddata$MODULE)),
10)]
moddata <- moddata[which(!is.na(match(moddata$MODULE, mod.names))),]
gendata <- gendata[which(!is.na(match(gendata$GENE, 
unique(moddata$GENE)))),]
mardata <- mardata[which(!is.na(match(mardata$MARKER, 
unique(gendata$MARKER)))),]

## save this to a temporary file and set its path as new job.msea$modfile:
tool.save(moddata, "subsetof.coexpr.modules.txt")
tool.save(gendata, "subsetof.genfile.txt")
tool.save(mardata, "subsetof.marfile.txt")
job.msea$modfile <- "subsetof.coexpr.modules.txt"
job.msea$genfile <- "subsetof.genfile.txt"
job.msea$marfile <- "subsetof.marfile.txt"

## run ssea.start() and prepare for this small set: (due to the huge runtime)
job.msea <- ssea.start(job.msea)
job.msea <- ssea.prepare(job.msea)
job.msea <- ssea.control(job.msea)

## Observed enrichment scores.
db <- job.msea$database
scores <- ssea.analyze.observe(db)
nmods <- length(scores)

## Remove the temporary files used for the test:
file.remove("subsetof.coexpr.modules.txt")
file.remove("subsetof.genfile.txt")
file.remove("subsetof.marfile.txt")
