This reproducible R Markdown analysis was created with workflowr (version 1.6.2.9000). 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 ba90d80. 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.


These are the previous versions of the repository in which changes were made to the R Markdown (analysis/clusters_droplet.Rmd) and HTML (docs/clusters_droplet.html) files.

Rmd ba90d80 Peter Carbonetto 2020-09-19 workflowr::wflow_publish(“clusters_droplet.Rmd”)
html b1cb82e Peter Carbonetto 2020-09-19 Added clustering from PCA plots to clusters_droplet analysis.
Rmd 81e7faf Peter Carbonetto 2020-09-19 workflowr::wflow_publish(“clusters_droplet.Rmd”)
Rmd c8dd3af Peter Carbonetto 2020-09-16 Implemented basic_pca_plot; improved labeled_pca_plot function.

Here we perform PCA on the topic proportions to identify clusters in the droplet data.

Load the packages used in the analysis below, as well as additional functions that we will use to generate some of the plots.

library(dplyr)
library(fastTopics)
library(ggplot2)
library(cowplot)
source("../code/plots.R")

Load data and results

Load the droplet data. The UMI counts are not needed for this analysis.

load("../data/droplet.RData")
rm(counts)

Load the \(k = 7\) Poisson NMF model fit.

fit <- readRDS("../output/droplet/rds/fit-droplet-scd-ex-k=7.rds")$fit

Identify clusters from principal components

To identify clusters, we begin by plotting PCs computed from the topic proportions. (Note that only 6 PCs are needed for 7 topics.)

p1 <- basic_pca_plot(fit,1:2)
p2 <- basic_pca_plot(fit,3:4)
p3 <- basic_pca_plot(fit,5:6)
plot_grid(p1,p2,p3,nrow = 1,ncol = 3)

Some of the structure is more evident from “hexbin” plots showing the density of the points.

bins <- c(0,1,5,10,100,Inf)
p4 <- pca_hexbin_plot(fit,1:2,bins = bins) + guides(fill = "none")
p5 <- pca_hexbin_plot(fit,3:4,bins = bins) + guides(fill = "none")
p6 <- pca_hexbin_plot(fit,5:6,bins = bins) + guides(fill = "none")
plot_grid(p4,p5,p6,nrow = 1,ncol = 3)

From these PCA plots, we define 4 clusters, labeled A, Cil, G and T+N. (The reasoning behind these labels will become clear later.) Points that do not fit in any of these clusters are assigned to a “background cluster”, labeled U for “unknown”.

pca <- prcomp(poisson2multinom(fit)$L)$x
x   <- rep("U",nrow(pca))
pc1 <- pca[,1]
pc2 <- pca[,2]
pc6 <- pca[,6]
x[pc2 > -0.15] <- "A"
x[pc1 > 0.3 & pc2 < -0.75] <- "Cil"
x[pc1 <= 0.3 & pc2 >= -0.75 & pc2 < -0.4] <- "T+N"
x[pc6 < -0.05] <- "G"

There is additional substructure in cluster A, which is more apparent from the top 2 PCs computed from cluster A only.

rows <- which(x == "A")
fit2 <- select(poisson2multinom(fit),loadings = rows)
p7   <- basic_pca_plot(fit2,1:2)
p8   <- pca_hexbin_plot(fit2,1:2,bins = bins) + guides(fill = "none")
plot_grid(p7,p8)

We label the two more distinct subclusters as B and C, and assign the remaining samples to the background cluster (U).

pca <- prcomp(fit2$L)$x
y   <- rep("U",nrow(pca))
pc1 <- pca[,1]
pc2 <- pca[,2]
y[pc1 < 0.1] <- "B"
y[pc1 > 0.4 & pc2 < 0.45] <- "C"
x[rows] <- y

In summary, we have subdivided the droplet data into 6 subsets, which includes a background cluster (U).

colors <- c("royalblue","forestgreen","firebrick","darkmagenta",
            "darkorange","peru","gainsboro")
p9  <- labeled_pca_plot(fit,1:2,x,colors)
p10 <- labeled_pca_plot(fit,3:4,x,colors)
p11 <- labeled_pca_plot(fit,5:6,x,colors)
plot_grid(p9,p10,p11,nrow = 1,ncol = 3)

The clusters identified here correspond well to the Montoro et al (2018) clustering, with some exceptions (e.g., we do not identify an ionocytes cluster, and the neuroendocrine and tuft cells are included in the same cluster).
