This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.6.2). The Checks tab describes the reproducibility checks that were applied when the results were created. The Past versions tab lists the development history.


Great! Since the R Markdown file has been committed to the Git repository, you know the exact version of the code that produced these results.

Great job! The global environment was empty. Objects defined in the global environment can affect the analysis in your R Markdown file in unknown ways. For reproduciblity it's best to always run the code in an empty environment.

The command set.seed(20200302) was run prior to running the code in the R Markdown file. Setting a seed ensures that any results that rely on randomness, e.g. subsampling or permutations, are reproducible.

Great job! Recording the operating system, R version, and package versions is critical for reproducibility.

Nice! There were no cached chunks for this analysis, so you can be confident that you successfully produced the results during this run.

Great job! Using relative paths to the files within your workflowr project makes it easier to run your code on other machines.

Great! You are using Git for version control. Tracking code development and connecting the code version to the results is critical for reproducibility.

The results in this page were generated with repository version c687383. See the Past versions tab to see a history of the changes made to the R Markdown and HTML files.

Note that you need to be careful to ensure that all relevant files for the analysis have been committed to Git prior to generating the results (you can use wflow_publish or wflow_git_commit). workflowr only checks the R Markdown file, but you know if there are other scripts or data files that it depends on. Below is the status of the Git repository when the results were generated:

Note that any generated files, e.g. HTML, png, CSS, etc., are not included in this status report because it is ok for generated content to have uncommitted changes.

The number of genes a CpG maps to can also vary, although the majority of CpGs only map to one gene.

Explore the distribution of the average number of CpGs per gene, per GO category. First, associate GO categories with the CpG and gene data.

cpgEgGo <- cpgsEgGoFreqs(flatAnn)
head(cpgEgGo)
  ENTREZID         GO ENTREZID. Freq

Null simulations

Null simulation strategy: randomly select 50, 100, 500, 1000, 5000 and 10000 sets of CpGs and perform GO testing on each set 100 times, with and without adjusting for the various biases on the array.

The code used for the simulation can be found in /Users/maksimovicjovana/Work/Research/methyl-geneset-testing/code/randCpgSim.R.

The following boxplots show what proportion of the 100 simulations, at each level of CpGs sampled, had a raw p-value less than 0.05. This gives us an idea of the false discovery rate with and without adjustment for the number of CpGs annotated to a gene.

dat <- readRDS(here("output/random-cpg-sims/EPIC.rds"))

dat %>% filter(method %in% names(dict)) %>%
    mutate(method = unname(dict[method])) %>%
    group_by(simNo, noCpgs, method) %>% 
    summarise(pSig = sum(P.DE < 0.05)/length(P.DE)) -> sigDat
`summarise()` regrouping output by 'simNo', 'noCpgs' (override with `.groups` argument)
p <- ggplot(sigDat, aes(x=noCpgs, y=pSig, fill=method)) + 
    geom_violin() +
    geom_hline(yintercept=0.05, linetype="dashed", color = "red") +
