SummarizedBenchmark 1.0.4
The data is available for download from ArrayExpress. Expression data for each sample is provided in the RSEM output format. Corresponding information for the ground truth underlying the simulated data is also available, including transcript differential expression status.
First, we download and import the transcript-level TPM values using the tximport 1.8.0 package.
d <- tempdir()
download.file(url = paste0("https://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/files/",
"E-MTAB-4119/E-MTAB-4119.processed.3.zip"),
destfile = file.path(d, "samples.zip"))
unzip(file.path(d, "samples.zip"), exdir = d)

## )So far, this vignette has shown the recommended use of SummarizedBenchmark, that enables users to perform benchmarks automatically keeping track of parameters and software versions. However, users can also construct SummarizedBenchmark objects from standard S3 data objects.
Using data from the iCOBRApackage [@Soneson_2016], this part of the vignette demonstrates how to build SummarizedBenchmark objects from S3 objects. The dataset contains differential expression results of three different methods (limma, edgeR and DESeq2) applied to a simulated RNA-seq dataset.
The process of building a SummarizedBenchmark object is similar to the one used to construct a SummarizedExperiment object. To build a SummarizedBenchmark object, three main objects are required (1) a list where each element corresponds to a data.frame, (2) a DataFrame with annotations of the methods and (3) when available, a DataFrame of ground truths.
In the SummarizedBenchmark object, each output of the methods is considered a different assay. For example, using the differential expression dataset example, we can define two assays, q-values and estimated log fold changes. For each assay, we arrange the output of the different methods as a matrix where each column corresponds to a method and each row corresponds to each feature (in this case, genes). We will need a list in which each of it’s element corresponds to an assay.
assays <- list(
qvalue=cobradata_example@padj,
logFC=cobradata_example@score )
assays[["qvalue"]]$DESeq2 <- p.adjust(cobradata_example@pval$DESeq2, method="BH")
head( assays[["qvalue"]], 3)## edgeR voom DESeq2

## ENSG00000000938 0.04985025 0.03344113 0.001526355Since these are simulated data, the ground truths for both assays are known. We can format these as a DataFrame where each column corresponds to an assay and each row corresponds to a feature.
