1 Introduction

This document explains the functionalities available in the a4Classif package.

This package contains for classification of Affymetrix microarray data, stored in an ExpressionSet. This package integrates within the Automated Affymetrix Array Analysis suite of packages.

To demonstrate the functionalities of the package, the ALL dataset is used. The genes are annotated thanks to the addGeneInfo utility function of the a4Preproc package.

ALL <- addGeneInfo(ALL)

2 Classify microarray data

2.1 Lasso regression

resultLasso <- lassoClass(object = ALL, groups = "BTtype")
plot(resultLasso, 
    label = TRUE, 
    main = "Lasso coefficients in relation to degree of penalization."
)

topTable(resultLasso, n = 15)
## The lasso selected 16 genes. The top 15 genes are:
## 
##             Gene Coefficient
## 38319_at    CD3D  0.95966733
## 35016_at    CD74 -0.60928095

2.2 PAM regression

resultPam <- pamClass(object = ALL, groups = "BTtype")
plot(resultPam, 
    main = "Pam misclassification error versus number of genes."
)

topTable(resultPam, n = 15)
## Pam selected  1  genes. The top  15  genes are:
## 
##          GeneSymbol B.score T.score av.rank.in.CV prop.selected.in.CV
## 38319_at       CD3D -0.1693  0.4875             1                   1
confusionMatrix(resultPam)
##     predicted
## true  B  T
##    B 95  0
##    T  1 32

2.3 Random forest

# select only a subset of the data for computation time reason
ALLSubset <- ALL[sample.int(n = nrow(ALL), size = 100, replace = FALSE), ]

resultRf <- rfClass(object = ALLSubset, groups = "BTtype")
plot(resultRf)

topTable(resultRf, n = 15)
## Random forest selected 17 genes. The top 15 genes are:
## 
##            GeneSymbol
## 1350_at        CYP4F2
## 31783_at        RENBP
## 33630_s_at     SPTBN2
## 33954_at         <NA>
## 34156_i_at       <NA>
## 34898_at         AREG
## 35975_at        MLLT3
## 36179_at     MAPKAPK2
## 37366_at       PDLIM5
## 38190_r_at     DEPDC5
## 39392_at        GNPAT
## 39616_at       PTGER3
## 40416_at      SMARCB1
## 40444_s_at       <NA>
## 41079_at        ASIC3

2.4 ROC curve

ROCcurve(gene = "ABL1", object = ALL, groups = "BTtype")
## Warning in ROCcurve(gene = "ABL1", object = ALL, groups = "BTtype"): Gene ABL1 corresponds to 6 probesets; only the first probeset ( 1635_at ) has been displayed on the plot.
