Dependencies

This document depends on the following packages:

  library(devtools)
  library(Biobase)
  library(dendextend)

To install these packages you can use the code (or if you are compiling the document, remove the eval=FALSE from the chunk.)

install.packages(c("devtools","dendextend"))
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite(c("Biobase"))

General principles

Load some data

We will use this expression set to look at how we use plots and tables to check for different characteristics

con =url("http://bowtie-bio.sourceforge.net/recount/ExpressionSets/bodymap_eset.RData")
load(file=con)
close(con)
bm = bodymap.eset
pdata=pData(bm)
edata=as.data.frame(exprs(bm))
fdata = fData(bm)
ls()
## [1] "bm"           "bodymap.eset" "con"          "edata"       
## [5] "fdata"        "pdata"        "tropical"

Calculate distances between samples

First we log transform and remove lowly expressed genes, then calculate Euclidean distance

edata = edata[rowMeans(edata) > 5000,]
edata = log2(edata + 1)

# By default calculates the distance between rows
dist1 = dist(t(edata))

## Look at distance matrix
colramp = colorRampPalette(c(3,"white",2))(9)
heatmap(as.matrix(dist1),col=colramp,Colv=NA,Rowv=NA)

Now cluster the samples

Here we use the distance we previously calculated to perform a hierarchical clustering and plot the dendrogram:

hclust1 = hclust(dist1)
plot(hclust1)

We can also force all of the leaves to terminate at the same spot

plot(hclust1,hang=-1)

We can also color the dendrogram either into a fixed number of groups

dend = as.dendrogram(hclust1)
dend = color_labels(hclust1,4,col=1:4)
plot(dend)

Or you can color them directly

labels_colors(dend) = c(rep(1,10),rep(2,9))
plot(dend)

This can get very fancy and we won’t cover all the options here but for further ideas check out the dendextend package.

K-means clustering

Now we can perform k-means clustering. By default, the rows are clustered. You can either input the cluster means (often unknown) or the number of clusters (here I input 3 clusters)

kmeans1 = kmeans(edata,centers=3)
names(kmeans1)
## [1] "cluster"      "centers"      "totss"        "withinss"    
## [5] "tot.withinss" "betweenss"    "size"         "iter"        
## [9] "ifault"

Now we can look at the cluster centers

matplot(t(kmeans1$centers),col=1:3,type="l",lwd=3)

We can also look at how many belong to each cluster

table(kmeans1$cluster)
## 
##   1   2   3 
##  63 390 745

And cluster the data together and plot

heatmap(as.matrix(edata)[order(kmeans1$cluster),],col=colramp,Colv=NA,Rowv=NA)

Note that this is a random start so you get a different clustering if you run it again you get a different answer

kmeans2 = kmeans(edata,centers=3)
table(kmeans1$cluster,kmeans2$cluster)
##    
##       1   2   3
##   1   3  60   0
##   2  15   0 375
##   3 151   0 594
