Dear All, I'm using LIMMA to analyse a set of GPR files. I used the weight fuction to apply QC parameter threshold values recommended by Genepix. The code for the same is >myfun <- function(x,threshold=55){ + okred <- abs(x[,"% > B635+2SD"]) < threshold + okgreen <- abs(x[,"% > B532+2SD"]) < threshold + as.numeric(okgreen & okred) } On completion of the analysis, all the spots showed up in the results file inspite of being flagged off. I understand that on being flagged off by limma (wt = 0), the spots are not considered for further analysis. Is there any way they can be excluded from the final result file. Also, if I get an output of all the spots (38000 in my case) how do I decide on a cut off. Do I use the rank or something else? Waiting eagerly for a reply, thank you, -Ankit Stay connected, organized, and protected. Take the tour:

Dear Dr Smyth, I'm sorry for not having specified which result file. It is the final result summary we get after we give the command Resultfile <- topTable(fit,n=200, adjust="fdr") A sample result file has been attached. The code I used for my analysis is > targets <- readTargets("target.txt") #The QC filter > myfun <- function(x,threshold=55){ + okred <- abs(x[,"% > B635+2SD"]) > threshold + okgreen <- abs(x[,"% > B532+2SD"]) > threshold + okflag <- abs(x[,"Flags"]) > 0 + okRGN <- abs(x[,"Rgn R˛"]) > 0.6 + as.numeric(okgreen || okred || okflag || okRGN) + } #end of QC filter > RG_7 <- read.maimages(targets$FileName, source="genepix",wt.fun=myfun) > RG_7$genes <- readGAL() > RG_7$printer <- getLayout(RG_7$genes) > MA_7 <- normalizeWithinArrays(RG_7,method="loess") > MA_7 <- normalizeBetweenArrays(MA_7) > fit_7 <- lmFit(MA_7, design=c(1,-1,1,-1)) > fit_7 <- eBayes(fit_7) > options(digits=3) > Resultfile_7 <- topTable(fit_7, n=39000, adjust="fdr") > Resdat_7 <-data.frame(Resultfile_7) > write.table(Resdat_,file='Result.csv',quote = FALSE, sep = "\t") I understand that the spots that do not qualify the QC filter are given a weight of "0" by limma and are not considered for normalization and will not affect the analysis. The result file I get contains all the spots (38000) in my case. Didn't the spots that were bad get removed from the final result? If not what is the cut off value (B, p etc) that I need to use to get a set of reliable spots(I cant use all the 38000) from my result file for my analysis. Is there a fixed formula to derive the same as the values vary with the analysis. Waiting for your reply, Thank you, -Ankit --- Gordon K Smyth <smyth@wehi.edu.au> wrote: > > Date: Sun, 15 May 2005 21:34:18 -0700 (PDT) > > From: Ankit Pal <pal_ankit2000@yahoo.com> > > Subject: [BioC] Deciding on a cut off after QC > > To: bioconductor@stat.math.ethz.ch > > > > Dear All, > > I'm using LIMMA to analyse a set of GPR files. > > I used the weight fuction to apply QC parameter > > threshold values recommended by Genepix. > > The code for the same is > > > >>myfun <- function(x,threshold=55){ > > + okred <- abs(x[,"% > B635+2SD"]) < threshold > > + okgreen <- abs(x[,"% > B532+2SD"]) < threshold > > + as.numeric(okgreen & okred) > > } > > > > On completion of the analysis, all the spots > showed > > up in the results file inspite of being flagged > off.

Dear Dr Smyth, I guess there has been a mistake in communication. There are 39000 spots on the array but the number of probes are lesser as there are replicates(not a fixed number) on the array. The output from toptable() gives me a total of 39000 rows, one for each spot. I need to give an output of the spots most significant in this list. What is the cut off value(p or B or any other) I need to use above which I can consider a set of differentially expressed genes significant enough for further use (eg :function based clustering of all significantly overexpressed genes). I cannot use all the genes in the topTable() output. Where do I put the cut off? Is there a way I can calculate it? sincerely, -Ankit --- Gordon K Smyth <smyth@wehi.edu.au> wrote: > On Mon, May 16, 2005 9:49 pm, Ankit Pal said: > > Dear Dr Smyth, > > I'm sorry for not having specified which result > file. > > It is the final result summary we get after we > give > > the command > > Resultfile <- topTable(fit,n=200, adjust="fdr") > > A sample result file has been attached. > > The code I used for my analysis is > > > >> targets <- readTargets("target.txt") > > > > #The QC filter > >> myfun <- function(x,threshold=55){ > > + okred <- abs(x[,"% > B635+2SD"]) > threshold > > + okgreen <- abs(x[,"% > B532+2SD"]) > threshold > > + okflag <- abs(x[,"Flags"]) > 0 > > + okRGN <- abs(x[,"Rgn R˛"]) > 0.6 > > + as.numeric(okgreen || okred || okflag || okRGN) > > + } > > #end of QC filter > > > >> RG_7 <- read.maimages(targets$FileName, > > source="genepix",wt.fun=myfun) > >> RG_7$genes <- readGAL() > > As I said last week, this command is not needed with > GenePix data.

I do not understand this clearly. Do you mean you have some duplicated spots or is there redundancy when you convert to something common like unigene ID ? If the former, I believe there are some facilities within LIMMA for equal number duplications per spots but I am not sure. For the latter, you could use tapply or something to find the min/max of the statistics. > What is the cut off value(p or B or any other) I need > to use above which I can consider a set of > differentially expressed genes significant enough for > further use (eg :function based clustering of all > significantly overexpressed genes). > I cannot use all the genes in the topTable() output. > Where do I put the cut off? > Is there a way I can calculate it? Selection of p-value threshold is arbitrary. However it would be a good idea to adjust for multiple comparison. My preferred method is the FDR by Benjamini and Hochberg but there are many other methods too each with a different meaning. I will illustrate FDR using the slightly modified example from help(topTable) : set.seed(123) # for reproducibility only - do not use this in real life M <- matrix(rnorm(10000*6,sd=0.3), 10000, 6) M[1:100, 1:3] <- M[1:100, 1:3] + 2 design <- cbind( First3Arrays=c(1,1,1,0,0,0), Last3Arrays=c(0,0,0,1,1,1)) fit <- lmFit(M, design=design) fit <- eBayes(fit) tab <- topTable( fit, adjust.method="fdr", sort.by="p", n=nrow(M) ) positives <- rownames(tab)[ which(tab[ , "P.Value"] < 0.05) ] The "positives" are the names of genes that we declare as differentially expression and it is expected that 5% of these genes are false positives on average. Note that in this case we can explicitly calculate the FP rate as follows because we have simulated the datasets. mean( ifelse( as.numeric(positives) <= 100, 0, 1 ) ) 0.06542056 I am sure Gordon Symth has a far more elegant and flexible version of this documented somewhere in his user guide.

Dear Adai, Thank you for the detailed response. Correct me if I'm wrong. What you are saying is that after applying the "fdr" I give a cut off of 0.05 for the p-value and write all those spots into an object (positives). That means, I do not consider the B values. In essence, it is just a one sample t test afetr adjusting the p-value and taking into consideration all those spots that have a p-value < 0.05? >From my code in a previous mail to Gordon Smyth, I have done a quality control (QC) using parameters and threshold values prescribed by genepix. I know from experience, a large number of spots do not get through the filter. As I understand from LIMMA, a weight of "0" is given to any spot that does not get through the QC filter. How do I exclude these spots from the final result summary file? I need to get a set of significantly differentially expressed genes that have got through the QC filter. How do I do it using LIMMA?

These spots are already excluded. You seem to be confused by the fact that excluding a spot does not exclude the corresponding probe, since there are four spots for each probe. You will get a valid t-statistic and p-value for a probe if any one of the spots for that probe get a positive weight. (Note you can get a Bayesian t-statistic even for a probe with no residual df.) >I need to get a set of significantly differentially >expressed genes that have got through the QC filter. >How do I do it using LIMMA?

See comments below. If anyone finds them erroneous, please correct me.

In some sense, yes. In paragraph 2 of section 7 of [1], Symth says that posterior odds (B) depend on the estimate of the proportion of genes that are differentially expressed while moderated t-test (whose p-values are given in topTable output) does not. The B values are useful if you want to calculate posterior probabilities of differential expression. [1] Smyth, G. K. (2004). Linear models and empirical Bayes methods for assessing differential expression in microarray experiments. Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology 3, No. 1, Article 3. http://www.bepress.com/sagmb/vol3/iss1/art3/ > In essence, it is just a one sample t test afetr > adjusting the p-value and taking into consideration > all those spots that have a p-value < 0.05? No, this is based on moderated t-test where the variance in the denominator is shrunk towards a global variance like what SAM does. But unlike SAM, LIMMA has 1) a better theoretical derivation and shrinks the variance instead of standard deviation 2) shows that the moderated t-test follows a t-distribution with augmented degrees of freedom and thus no need to obtain p-values by permutation testing, hence computationally faster 3) more flexible to extend to other designs > >From my code in a previous mail to Gordon Smyth, I > have done a quality control (QC) using parameters and > threshold values prescribed by genepix. > I know from experience, a large number of spots do not > get through the filter. > As I understand from LIMMA, a weight of "0" is given > to any spot that does not get through the QC filter. > How do I exclude these spots from the final result > summary file? > I need to get a set of significantly differentially > expressed genes that have got through the QC filter. > How do I do it using LIMMA? I assume you have read the section 5.4 of the User Guide http://bioinf.wehi.edu.au/limma/usersguide.pdf I am not familiar with spot filtering nor genepix, so I cannot help you much here. But re-reading your previous mail, I noticed that you used something like "% > B635+2SD". Are you sure this is not "% > B635 + 2 SD". Note that the spaces matter ! Otherwise you can try renaming the columns to something like "green2sd" and "red2sd" just in case R is mis-reading the spaces somehow.

Dear Dr Smyth, I would prefer using the p-value with a threshold value of 0.05. In the case of an experiment(I sent you the code) I did, the reult file contains p-values (after fdr) in range of 0.96 - 0.97. How did I get such values and where do I place a cut off in this case? Am I doing something wrong? In the user guide it says "If none of the raw p-value are less than 1/G, where G is the number of genes included in the fit, then all of the adjusted p-values will the equal to 1.Since 1/G is about the expected size of the smallest p-values given purely random variation and uniform p-values, this means that there is no overall evidence of differential expression." I am not too sure I understand what it means. Should there be atleast one p-value < 1/G? I am attaching a sample data output file to this mail. What should be done in my case?

No there need not be. The above text which you have quoted already tells you so. What would be the meaning of statistical significance, if you were guaranteed to get a significant result in every single experiment that you did? >I am attaching a sample data output file to this mail. >What should be done in my case? Perhaps take a more sophisticated approach to background correction and spot filtering. Or else accept that you don't have statistical significance for this data.
