ADImpute 1.3.0
ADImpute predicts unmeasured gene expression values from single cell RNA-sequencing data (dropout imputation). This R-package combines multiple dropout imputation methods. ADImpute currently supports, by default, and and two novel imputation methods: and . imputes dropouts with the average quantified expression level of the respective gene across the dataset. uses previously learnt regulatory models of gene expression to infer the expression of dropout genes from the expression of other relevant (predictive) genes in the cell. ADImpute consists of 2 fundamental functions: and .
The function allows for dropout imputation with one or more of the supported methods. In order to specify which imputation method(s) to run, pass them via the argument:
RPM <- NormalizeRPM(ADImpute::demo_data)
imputed <- Impute(data = RPM, do = c("Network"), cores = 2,
net.coef = ADImpute::demo_net)In addition to running different methods on the data, ADImpute can also determine which of these performs best for each gene and perform an “Ensemble” imputation, which combines the best performing methods for different genes. First, evaluate methods using to determine the best performing imputation method for each gene. This step sets a fraction of the quantified entries in the input data to zero, applies different imputation methods to the data and compares the imputation results to the original values. This allows ADImpute to determine which method imputes values with the lowest errors for each gene.
RPM <- NormalizeRPM(ADImpute::demo_data)
methods_pergene <- EvaluateMethods(data = RPM,
do = c("Baseline", "DrImpute", "Network"),
cores = 2, net.coef = ADImpute::demo_net)head(methods_pergene)
#> ABL2 ACSL3 ACTL6A ADAM9 ADD1 AFTPH
#> "DrImpute" "DrImpute" "DrImpute" "DrImpute" "Baseline" "Baseline"After determining which method performs best for each gene, the imputation can be re-done on the original data and the results of different methods combined into an ensemble:
imputed <- Impute(do = "Ensemble", method.choice = methods_pergene,
data = RPM, cores = 2, net.coef = ADImpute::demo_net)str(imputed)

Some zeros in the data correspond to genes expressed in the cell, but not captured upon sequencing - the technical dropouts - while others correspond to genes truly not expressed in the cell - the biological zeros. In order to avoid imputation of biological zeros, adapts the well-established approach of for the computation of the probability of each entry to be a technical dropout. A matrix of such probabilities, of the same size as the original data, can be provided by the user, or computed by using ’s approach, as below. To activate this option, provide a value for in the call to , as exemplified below:
imputed <- Impute(do = "Baseline",
data = RPM,
cores = 2,
true.zero.thr = .3)str(imputed)

In this case, will result in new internal row metadata being added to the object, with the best performing methods per gene. results in new assays being added to the object. If is specified, only the results after setting biological zeros back to zero will be added to the object.

sce <- Impute(sce = sce)is built in a modular way, which facilitates the addition of custom functions supporting other imputation methods. Two such methods are and , with wrapper functions already contained within . To call these methods, please follow these steps: 1) install scImpute and/or SCRABBLE from their github repositories 2) clone the ADImpute repository 3) copy the lines below to the file Wrap.R in the source R/ folder of ADImpute, line #309. 4) re-load ADImpute using devtools::load_all() on ADImpute’s folder
