SurvPcaClass: Survival PCA and Classification for metabolic data

Description

The function performs principal component analysis (PCA) on Metabolomics matrix and fit Cox proportional hazard model with covariates using also the first PCA as covariates.

Usage

SurvPcaClass(
  Survival,
  Mdata,
  Censor,
  Reduce = TRUE,
  Select = 150,
  Prognostic = NULL,
  Plots = FALSE,
  Quantile = 0.5
)

Arguments

Survival

A vector of survival time with length equals to number of subjects

Mdata

A large or small metabolic profile matrix. A matrix with metabolic profiles where the number of rows should be equal to the number of metabolites and number of columns should be equal to number of patients.

Censor

A vector of censoring indicator

Reduce

A boolean parameter indicating if the metabolic profile matrix should be reduced, default is TRUE and larger metabolic profile matrix is reduced by supervised pca approach and first pca is extracted from the reduced matrix to be used in the classifier.

Select

Number of metabolites (default is 15) to be selected from supervised PCA. This is valid only if th argument Reduce=TRUE

Prognostic

A dataframe containing possible prognostic(s) factor and/or treatment effect to be used in the model.

Plots

A boolean parameter indicating if the plots should be shown. Default is FALSE

Quantile

The cut off value for the classifier, default is the median cutoff

Value

A object of class SurvPca is returned with the following values

Survfit

The cox proportional regression result using the first PCA

Riskscores

A vector of risk scores which is equal to the number of patents.

Riskgroup

The classification of the subjects based on the PCA into low or high risk group

pc1

The First PCA scores based on either the reduced Metabolite matrix or the full matrix

KMplot

The Kaplan-Meier survival plot of the riskgroup

SurvBPlot

The distribution of the survival in the riskgroup

Riskpca

The plot of Risk scores vs first PCA

Details

This function can also be used to perform the grid analysis where the grid will be several quantile values and default is 0.5 which is the median cut-off. This function can handle single and multiple metabolites. For larger Metabolomics matrix, this function will reduce larger Metabolomics matrix to smaller version using supervised pca approach and this is by default done and can be control by using the argument Reduce. Other prognostic factors can be included to the model.
