Seurat (version 3.1.1)

RunPCA: Run Principal Component Analysis

Description

Run a PCA dimensionality reduction. For details about stored PCA calculation parameters, see PrintPCAParams.

Usage

RunPCA(object, ...)

# S3 method for default RunPCA(object, assay = NULL, npcs = 50, rev.pca = FALSE, weight.by.var = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, ndims.print = 1:5, nfeatures.print = 30, reduction.key = "PC_", seed.use = 42, approx = TRUE, ...)

# S3 method for Assay RunPCA(object, assay = NULL, features = NULL, npcs = 50, rev.pca = FALSE, weight.by.var = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, ndims.print = 1:5, nfeatures.print = 30, reduction.key = "PC_", seed.use = 42, ...)

# S3 method for Seurat RunPCA(object, assay = NULL, features = NULL, npcs = 50, rev.pca = FALSE, weight.by.var = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, ndims.print = 1:5, nfeatures.print = 30, reduction.name = "pca", reduction.key = "PC_", seed.use = 42, ...)

Arguments

object

An object

...

Arguments passed to other methods and IRLBA

assay

Name of Assay PCA is being run on

npcs

Total Number of PCs to compute and store (50 by default)

rev.pca

By default computes the PCA on the cell x gene matrix. Setting to true will compute it on gene x cell matrix.

weight.by.var

Weight the cell embeddings by the variance of each PC (weights the gene loadings if rev.pca is TRUE)

verbose

Print the top genes associated with high/low loadings for the PCs

ndims.print

PCs to print genes for

nfeatures.print

Number of genes to print for each PC

reduction.key

dimensional reduction key, specifies the string before the number for the dimension names. PC by default

seed.use

Set a random seed. By default, sets the seed to 42. Setting NULL will not set a seed.

approx

Use truncated singular value decomposition to approximate PCA

features

Features to compute PCA on

reduction.name

dimensional reduction name, pca by default

Value

Returns Seurat object with the PCA calculation stored in the reductions slot
