Checks: 7 0

Knit directory: fastTopics-experiments/analysis/

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(1) 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 1c3cb39. 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:

Here we compare the quality of the fits obtained from the different updates (EM and SCD, with and without extrapolation), and with different numbers of topics, \(K\).

Load the packages used in the analysis below, as well as some additional functions for creating the plots.

library(Matrix)
library(fastTopics)
library(ggplot2)
library(cowplot)
library(ggrepel)
set.seed(1)

Load the 68k PBMC data, and the results of running fit_poisson_nmf on the 68k PBMC data, with different algorithms, and for various settings of \(K\).

load("../data/pbmc_68k.RData")
load("../output/pbmc68k/fits-pbmc68k.RData")
fits <- lapply(fits,poisson2multinom)

This plot shows the improvement in the log-likelihood as the rank, \(K\), is increased. The log-likelihoods are shown relative to the log-likelihood at \(K = 2\).

The next set of plots shows the improvement in the fit over time, for \(K\) from 2 to 12, using EM or SCD, with and without extrapolation. The quality of the fit is measured by the log-likelihood relative to the best log-likelihood that was identified among all methods compared.

From the PCs of the mixture proportions, we define four clusters, roughly corresponding to (1) B cells, (2) dendritic and CD14+ monocytes, (3) CD34+ cells, and (4) T cells and natural killer cells:

fit  <- fits[["fit-pbmc68k-scd-ex-k=7"]]
pca  <- prcomp(fit$L)$x
n    <- nrow(pca)
x    <- rep("T+NK",n)
pc4  <- pca[,4]
pc6  <- pca[,6]
x[pc4 > 0.25] <- "B"
x[pc4 < -0.25] <- "CD14+dendritic"
x[pc6 > 0.8] <- "CD34+"
clusters <- factor(x)
table(clusters)
# clusters
#              B CD14+dendritic          CD34+           T+NK 
#           3733           4028            163          60655

The Structure plot summarizes the topic proportions in the cells. Here we subsample the larger clusters in order to better visualize the rarer cell types.

set.seed(1)
topics <- c(1:5,7,6)
topic_colors <- c("#a6cee3","#1f78b4","#b2df8a","#33a02c",
                  "#fb9a99","#e31a1c","#fdbf6f")
rows <- sort(c(sample(which(clusters == "B"),746),
               sample(which(clusters == "CD14+dendritic"),806),
               which(clusters == "CD34+"),
               sample(which(clusters == "T+NK"),1213)))
fit1 <- select_loadings(fit,loadings = rows)
tsne <- tsne_from_topics(fit1,dims = 1,verbose = FALSE)
p3 <- structure_plot(fit1,loadings_order = order(tsne[,1]),
                     grouping = clusters[rows],topics = topics,
                     colors = topic_colors[topics],gap = 30)
print(p3)

Let’s compare this to the Structure plot we would have obtained had we used the model fit obtained by runnning the EM updates without any extrapolation:

fit2 <- fits[["fit-pbmc68k-em-k=7"]]
fit2 <- select_loadings(fit2,loadings = rows)
p3b <- structure_plot(fit2,loadings_order = order(tsne[,1]),
                      grouping = clusters[rows],topics = topics,
                      colors = topic_colors[topics],gap = 30)
print(p3b)

Many of the “driving genes” in topic 6—that is, genes showing the largest increase in expression relative to other topics—are ribosomal protein genes:

pdat <- data.frame(gene = genes$symbol,
                   x    = pmax(1e-6,apply(fit$F[,-6],1,max)),
                   y    = pmax(1e-6,fit$F[,6]),
                   stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
pdat <- transform(pdat,fc = y/x)
pdat[with(pdat,!(fc > 1.6 & x > 0.0005)),"gene"] <- ""
p4 <- ggplot(pdat,aes(x = x,y = y,label = gene)) +
  geom_point(color = "white",fill = "royalblue",shape = 21) +
  geom_text_repel(color = "darkgray",size = 2.25,segment.color = "darkgray",
                  segment.size = 0.25,min.segment.length = 0,
                  max.overlaps = Inf) +
  geom_abline(intercept = 0,slope = 1,color = "black",linetype = "dotted") +
  scale_x_continuous(trans = "log10",limits=10^c(-6,-1),breaks=10^seq(-6,-1)) +
  scale_y_continuous(trans = "log10",limits=10^c(-6,-1),breaks=10^seq(-6,-1)) +
  labs(x = "highest frequency in another topic",
       y = "frequency in topic 6") +
  theme_cowplot(font_size = 10)
print(p4)
