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 88cd3c5. 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 calculate single-cell likelihoods to assess how well the multinomial topic model captures expression in different cells and cell types.

Load the packages used in the analysis below.

library(Matrix)
library(fastTopics)
library(ggplot2)
library(cowplot)

Load the count data, the \(K = 6\) topic model fit, and the 7 clusters identified in the clustering analysis.

load("../data/pbmc_purified.RData")
fit <- readRDS(file.path("../output/pbmc-purified/rds",
                         "fit-pbmc-purified-scd-ex-k=6.rds"))$fit
fit <- poisson2multinom(fit)
samples <- readRDS("../output/pbmc-purified/clustering-pbmc-purified.rds")

Calculate the multinomial topic model likelihood for each cell.

loglik <- loglik_multinom_topic_model(counts,fit)

This can be used to assess how well the topic model “fits” each cell.

pdat <- data.frame(loglik)
ggplot(pdat,aes(loglik)) +
  geom_histogram(bins = 64,color = "white",fill = "black") +
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(-20000,0,2500)) +
  labs(y = "number of cells") +
  theme_cowplot(font_size = 10)

For the plots, we combine the T-cell subpopulations into one category:

celltype <- as.character(samples$celltype)
celltype[celltype == "CD14+ Monocyte"] <- "CD14+"
celltype[celltype == "CD4+/CD45RA+/CD25- Naive T" |
         celltype == "CD4+/CD45RO+ Memory" |
         celltype == "CD8+/CD45RA+ Naive Cytotoxic" |
         celltype == "CD4+ T Helper2" |
         celltype == "CD4+/CD25 T Reg"] <- "T cell"
celltype <- factor(celltype)

Most of the poorly fit cells are in the CD34+ subpopulation:

pdat <- data.frame(loglik = loglik,celltype = celltype)
ggplot(pdat,aes(x = loglik)) +
  geom_histogram(bins = 64,color = "white",fill = "black") +
  facet_wrap(vars(celltype),scales = "free_y",ncol = 2) +
  scale_x_continuous(breaks = seq(-20000,0,2500)) +
  labs(y = "number of cells") +
  theme_cowplot(font_size = 9)

Here, we compare the single-cell likelihoods under the multinomial topic model against the likelihoods under a simple multinomial model in which all the cells in the same FACS subpopulation share the same multinomial probabilities. This serves partly as a “sanity check”, as we expect the more flexible topic model to offer a better fit than this simple multinomial model.

fit_facs <- fit_multinom_model(samples$celltype,counts)
loglik_facs <- loglik_multinom_topic_model(counts,fit_facs)

Indeed, the topic model provides a better fit for almost all cells:

facs_colors <- c("dodgerblue",  # B cells
                 "forestgreen", # CD14+
                 "darkmagenta", # CD34+
                 "gray",        # NK cells
                 "tomato",      # cytotoxic T cells
                 "gold")        # T cells
pdat <- data.frame(x = loglik_facs,y = loglik,celltype = celltype)
ggplot(pdat,aes(x = x,y = y,fill = celltype)) +
  geom_point(shape = 21,color = "white") +
  geom_abline(intercept = 0,slope = 1,linetype = "dotted") +
  scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-10000,0),breaks = seq(-10000,0,2500)) +
  scale_y_continuous(limits = c(-10000,0),breaks = seq(-10000,0,2500)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = facs_colors) +
  labs(x = "simple multinomial model",y = "topic model",
       fill = "FACS subpopulation") +
  theme_cowplot(font_size = 9)
# Warning: Removed 7 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

The improvement in fit is greatest for cells in the CD34+ and T cell FACS subpopulations:

p1 <- ggplot(pdat,aes(x = x,y = y,fill = celltype)) +
  geom_point(shape = 21,color = "white") +
  geom_abline(intercept = 0,slope = 1,linetype = "dotted") +
  facet_wrap(vars(celltype)) +
  scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-10000,0),breaks = seq(-10000,0,2500)) +
  scale_y_continuous(limits = c(-10000,0),breaks = seq(-10000,0,2500)) +
  scale_fill_manual(values = facs_colors) +
  labs(x = "simple multinomial model",y = "topic model",
       fill = "FACS subpopulation") +
  theme_cowplot(font_size = 9)
print(p1)
# Warning: Removed 7 rows containing missing values (geom_point).

Note that, although we do not distinguish the different T cell subtypes in the plots, the multinomial probabilities are estimated separately for each of the T cell subtypes.

It is interesting that the topic model almost always provides a better fit for the T cells considering that the simple “clustering” model estimates a different expression pattern for each T cell subtype (e.g., naive T cells), whereas the topic model does not reach this level of granularity in the T cells.

Finally, we compare the topic model likelihoods against another cluster-based model, this time using the clusters identified previously from the topic model mixture proportions.

fit_clusters <- fit_multinom_model(samples$cluster,counts)
loglik_clusters <- loglik_multinom_topic_model(counts,fit_clusters)

This is an interesting example where defining a separate cluster for the dendritic cells can actually yield a better fit than the topic model. However, because only 308 cells are in this cluster (0.3% of the total), the overall impact on model fit is small.

pdat <- data.frame(x = loglik_clusters,y = loglik,cluster = samples$cluster)
ggplot(pdat,aes(x = x,y = y)) +
  geom_point(shape = 21,color = "white",fill = "royalblue") +
  geom_abline(intercept = 0,slope = 1,linetype = "dotted") +
  facet_wrap(vars(cluster)) +
  scale_x_continuous(limits = c(-10000,0),breaks = seq(-10000,0,2500)) +
  scale_y_continuous(limits = c(-10000,0),breaks = seq(-10000,0,2500)) +
  labs(x = "simple multinomial model",y = "topic model") +
  theme_cowplot(font_size = 9)
# Warning: Removed 9 rows containing missing values (geom_point).
