\chapter{Introduction}

\par Gene Association in Pattern Sets (GAPS) infers underlying patterns in a matrix of measurements that can be interpreted as arising from the multiplication of two lower dimensional matrices.  The first development of this code in R/Biocondcutor was focused on gene expression analysis, however the original concept was used in spectral imaging.  The approach is a general form of matrix factorization using a stochastic algorithm.  In this vignette, we will focus on gene expression analysis for concreteness, but the factorization is applicable more broadly.

The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) matrix factorization that infers patterns also infers the extent to which individual genes belong to these patterns.  The CoGAPS algorithm extends GAPS to infer the coordinated activity in sets of genes for each of the inferred patterns based upon \cite{Ochs2009} and to refine gene set membership based upon \cite{Fertig2012}.

\par The GAPS algorithm is implemented in C++ and compiled and integrated into R using the Rcpp package.  GAPS is licensed under the GNU General Public License version 2.  You may freely modify and redistribute GAPS under certain conditions that are described in the top level source directory file \nolinkurl{COPYING}.

\par The R package CoGAPS is designed to facilitate the corresponding analysis of microarray measurements by calling the GAPS C++ library.  With the migration to C++ code, the installation as noted in Chapter \ref{install} should now be automatic.  Running instructions for the GAPS and CoGAPS analyses are provided in Sections \ref{GAPSRun} and \ref{CoGAPSRun}, respectively.  CoGAPS and GAPS are freely available at \url{https://github.com/ejfertig/CoGAPS} and through the CoGAPS Bioconductor package.

\chapter{Installation Instructions} \label{install}

\par The GAPS and CoGAPS algorithms are implemented in an open source C++ software and an R package to facilitate analysis, visualization, and integration with other R tools (CoGAPS, available through Bioconductor).   

\par With this version of CoGAPS, installation should be automatically completed through Bioconductor package installation:
\begin{verbatim}
source("http://www.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("CoGAPS")
\end{verbatim}

\par The C++ software will be automatically compiled, linking to required boost libraries distributed as part of the CRAN \texttt{BH} package (\url{http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/BH/index.html}) and Rcpp (\url{http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Rcpp/index.html}). 

\chapter{Executing CoGAPS}

\par In this chapter, we describe how to run both the GAPS and CoGAPS algorithms.  

\section{GAPS} \label{GAPSRun}

\par GAPS seeks a pattern matrix (${\bf{P}}$) and the corresponding distribution matrix of weights (${\bf{A}}$) whose product forms a mock data matrix (${\bf{M}}$) that represents the expression data ${\bf{D}}$ within noise limits ($\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}$).  That is,
\begin{equation}
{\bf{D}} = {\bf{M}} + \boldsymbol{\varepsilon} = {\bf{A}}{\bf{P}} + \boldsymbol{\varepsilon}.
\label{eq:matrixDecomp}
\end{equation}
The number of rows in ${\bf{P}}$ (columns in ${\bf{A}}$) defines the number of biological patterns that GAPS will infer from the measured microarray data or equivalently the number of nonorthogonal basis vectors required to span the data space.  As in the Bayesian Decomposition algorithm \cite{Ochs2006}, the matrices ${\bf{A}}$ and ${\bf{P}}$ in GAPS are assumed to have the atomic prior described in \cite{Sibisi1997}.  In the GAPS implementation, $\alpha_{A}$ and $\alpha_{P}$ are corresponding parameters for the expected number of atoms which map to each matrix element in ${\bf{A}}$ and ${\bf{P}}$, respectively.  The corresponding matrices ${\bf{A}}$ and ${\bf{P}}$ are found by MCMC sampling.

\subsection{Methods}

\par The GAPS algorithm is run by calling the \texttt{gapsRun} function in the CoGAPS R package as follows:
\begin{verbatim}
> gapsRun(D, S, ABins = data.frame(), PBins = data.frame(), nFactor = 7,
          simulation_id = "simulation", nEquil = 1000, nSample = 1000,
          nOutR = 1000, output_atomic = "FALSE", fixedBinProbs = "FALSE",
          fixedDomain = "N", sampleSnapshots = "TRUE", numSnapshots = 100,
          alphaA = 0.01, nMaxA = 1e+05, max_gibbmass_paraA = 100, 
          alphaP = 0.01, nMaxP = 1e+05, max_gibbmass_paraP = 100)
\end{verbatim}


\par \noindent \textbf{\underline{Input Arguments}}
The inputs that must be set each time are only the data and standard deviation matrices, with all other inputs having default values.  However, in reality it is essential to set at least nFactor, nEquil, and nSample based on the expected dimensionality of the data and the number of iterations needed to explore the posterior distribution.  The arguments are as follows:
\begin{description}
\item[D]{The matrix of m genes by n samples of expression data.  The input should be a matrix object and row names and column names will be retained in the output matrices as appropriate.  }
\item[S]{The matrix of m genes by n samples of standard deviations for the expression data.  The values will be used in estimating the Likelihood, presently under an assumption of normal error distribution.}
\item[ABins]{a matrix of same size as A which gives relative probability of that element being non-zero (optional)}
\item[PBins]{a matrix of same size as P which gives relative probability of that element being non-zero (optional)}
\item[nFactor]{number of patterns (basis vectors, metagenes), which must be greater than or equal to the number of rows of FP }
\item[simulation_id]{name to attach to atoms files if created}
\item[nEquil]{number of iterations for burn-in}
\item[nSample]{number of iterations for sampling}
\item[nOutR]{how often to print status into R by iterations}
\item[output_atomic]{whether to write atom files (large)}
\item[fixedBinProbs]{Boolean for using relative probabilities given in Abins and Pbins}
\item[fixedDomain]{character to indicate whether A or P is domain for relative probabilities}
\item[sampleSnapshots]{Boolean to indicate whether to capture individual samples from Markov chain during sampling}
\item[numSnapshots]{the number of individual samples to capture}
\item[alphaA]{sparsity parameter for A domain}
\item[nMaxA]{PRESENTLY UNUSED, future = limit number of atoms}
\item[max_gibbmass_paraA]{limit truncated normal to max size}
\item[alphaP]{sparsity parameter for P domain}
\item[nMaxP]{PRESENTLY UNUSED, future = limit number of atoms}
\item[max_gibbmass_paraP]{limit truncated normal to max size}
\end{description}

The algorithm returns in the results a list with
\begin{description}
\item[Amean]{A matrix with the sampled mean value for the amplitude matrix ${{\bf{A}}}$.}
\item[Asd]{A matrix with the sampled standard deviation for the amplitude matrix ${{\bf{A}}}$.}
\item[Pmean]{A matrix with the sampled mean value for the pattern matrix ${\bf{P}}$.}
\item[Psd]{A matrix with the sampled standard deviation for the pattern matrix ${\bf{P}}$.}
\item[atomsAEquil]{A vector with the number of atoms in the A domain throughout the equilibration steps.}
\item[atomsASamp]{A vector with the number of atoms in the A domain throughout the sampling steps.}
\item[atomsPEquil]{A vector with the number of atoms in the P domain throughout the equilibration steps.}
\item[atomsPSamp]{A vector with the number of atoms in the P domain throughout the sampling steps.}
\item[chiSqValues]{A vector with the sample chi-squared values throughput sampling.}
\item[meanChi2]{${\chi^2}$ value of the final mean result, i.e. $\chi^2 = \frac{(D-AP)^2}{\sigma^2}$.}
\item[ASnapshots]{Samples of A matrices taken during sampling.}
\item[PSnapshots]{Samples of P matrices taken during sampling.}
\end{description}
  
\par Once the GAPS algorithm has been run, the inferred patterns and corresponding amplitude can be displayed using the \texttt{plotGAPS} function as follows:
\begin{verbatim}
> plotGAPS(Amean, Pmean, outputPDF="")
\end{verbatim}
where setting outputPDF to a string will redirect output to a PDF file from the screen.  The command
\begin{verbatim}
> plotP(Pmean,Psd)
\end{verbatim}
will create a plot of just the rows of the $mathbf{P}$ matrix with standard errors, which is equivalent to plotting the basis vectors for the matrix factorization.

\par \noindent \textbf{\underline{Input Arguments}}
\begin{description}
\item[Amean]{The amplitude matrix ${\bf{Amean}}$ obtained from GAPS.}
\item[Pmean]{The pattern matrix ${\bf{Pmean}}$ obtained from GAPS.}
\item[outputPDF]{Name of an \texttt{pdf} file to which the results will be output.  (Optional; default="" will output plots to the screen.)}
\item[Psd]{The standard deviation of the mean for ${\bf{Pmean}}$.}
\end{description}

\par \noindent \textbf{\underline{Side Effects}}
\begin{itemize}
  \item Save the plots of ${\bf{Amean}}$ and ${\bf{Pmean}}$ to the \texttt{pdf} file \texttt{outputPDF}.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Example: Simple Simulation}

\par In this example, we have simulated data in SimpSim (\texttt{SimpSim.D}) with three known patterns (\texttt{SimpSim.P}) and corresponding amplitude (\texttt{SimpSim.A}) with specified activity in two gene sets (GSets).  In this data set, each gene set is overexpressed in one the simulated patterns and underexpressed in one.

<<label=GAPSSimpSim, echo=TRUE>>=
library('CoGAPS')
data('SimpSim')
nIter <- 5000
results <- gapsRun(SimpSim.D, SimpSim.S, nFactor=3,
		nEquil=nIter, nSample=nIter)
plotGAPS(results$Amean, results$Pmean, 'ModSimFigs')
@ 
Figure \ref{fig:ModSim} shows the results from plotting the GAPS estimates of ${\bf{A}}$ and ${\bf{P}}$ using \texttt{plotGAPS}, which has a fit to ${\bf{D}}$ of $\chi^{2}=\Sexpr{results[['meanChi2']]}$.

Figure \ref{fig:ModSimPtrue} displays the true patterns used to create the SimpSim data, stored in \texttt{SimpSim.P}.

  \label{fig:ModSimPtrue}
\end{figure}

Figure \ref{fig:GS} shows the results from running CoGAPS on the SimpSim data.  

\section{CoGAPS} \label{CoGAPSRun}

\par CoGAPS infers coordinated activity in gene sets active in each row of the pattern matrix ${\bf{P}}$ found by GAPS in a single step, by running both \texttt{GAPS} and then performing
the statistical analysis of \texttt{calcCoGAPSStat}.  Specifically, CoGAPS computes a $Z$-score based statistic on each column of the ${\bf{A}}$ matrix developed in \cite{Ochs2009}.  The resulting $Z$-score for pattern $p$ and gene set $i$, $\mathcal{G}_{i}$, with $G$ elements is given by
\begin{equation}
Z_{i,p} = \frac{1}{G} \sum\limits_{g \in \mathcal{G}_{i}} {\frac{{\bf{A}}_{gp}}{{\bf{Asd}}_{gp}}}
\label{eq:avgZ}
\end{equation}
where $g$ indexes the genes in the set and ${\bf{Asd}}_{gp}$ is the standard deviation of ${\bf{A}}_{gp}$ obtained from the MCMC sampling in GAPS.  CoGAPS then uses random sample tests to convert the Z-scores from eq. (\ref{eq:avgZ}) to $p$ values for each gene set.

\subsection{Methods}

\par The CoGAPS algorithm is run by calling the \texttt{CoGAPS} function in the CoGAPS R package as follows:
\begin{verbatim}
> results <- CoGAPS(data, unc, ABins = data.frame(), PBins = data.frame(), 
                                   GStoGenes, nFactor = 7, simulation_id = "simulation", 
                                   nEquil = 1000, nSample = 1000, nOutR = 1000, 
                                   output_atomic = FALSE, fixedBinProbs = FALSE, 
                                   fixedDomain = "N", sampleSnapshots = TRUE,
                                   numSnapshots = 100, plot = TRUE, nPerm = 500, 
                                   alphaA = 0.01, nMaxA = 1e+05, 
                                   max_gibbmass_paraA = 100, alphaP = 0.01, 
                                   nMaxP = 1e+05, max_gibbmass_paraP = 100)

\end{verbatim}

\par \noindent \textbf{\underline{Input Arguments}}
\begin{description}
\item[$\ldots$]{Input arguments from GAPS.}
\item[GStoGenes]{List or data frame containing the genes in each gene set. If a list, gene set names are the list names and corresponding elements are the names of genes contained in each set. If a data frame, gene set names are in the first column and corresponding gene names are listed in rows beneath each gene set name.}
\item[nPerm]{Number of permutations used for the null distribution in the gene set statistic. (optional; default=500).}
\item[plot]{Use \texttt{plotGAPS} to plot results from the run of \texttt{GAPS} within \texttt{CoGAPS}.}
\end{description}
  
\par \noindent \textbf{\underline{List Items in Function Output}}
\begin{description}
\item[$\ldots$]{Output list from GAPS except vectors of sample atom numbers and individual $\chi^2$ values.}
\item[D]{The input data matrix.}
\item[Sigma]{The input standard deviation matrix.}
\item[GSUpreg]{p-values for upregulation of each gene set in each pattern.}
\item[GSDownreg]{p-values for downregulation of each gene set in each pattern.}
\item[GSActEst]{Conversion of p-values to activity estimates of each gene set in each pattern (see \cite{Ochs2009} for details on conversion.  Essentially values near $1$ indicate high activity for the set and near $-1$ indicate low activity.}
\end{description}

\par The CoGAPS algorithm can also be run manually by first running the GAPS algorithm described in Section \ref{GAPSRun} and then calling the function \texttt{calcCoGAPSStat} as follows:
\begin{verbatim}
> calcCoGAPSStat(Amean, Asd, GStoGenes, numPerm=500)
\end{verbatim}
The input arguments for \texttt{calcCoGAPSStat} are as described in the previous sections.  This function will output a list containing \texttt{GSUpreg}, \texttt{GSDownreg}, and \texttt{GSActEst}.

\subsection{Example: Simulated data}

\par In this example, we have simulated data in SimpSim with three known patterns (SimpSim.P) and corresponding amplitude (SimpSim.A) with specified activity in two gene sets (GSets).  In this data set, each gene set is overexpressed in two of the simulated patterns and underexpressed in one.

<<label=SimCoGAPS,echo=TRUE>>=
library('CoGAPS')
data('SimpSim')
nIter <- 5000 
results <- CoGAPS(data=SimpSim.D, unc=SimpSim.S, 
		  GStoGenes=GSets,
                  nFactor=3,
                  nEquil=nIter, nSample=nIter,
                  plot=FALSE)
plotGAPS(results$Amean, results$Pmean, 'GSFigs')
@

Figure \ref{fig:GS2} shows the results from running CoGAPS on the GIST data in \cite{Ochs2009} with the option plot set to true.

\par Moreover, the gene set activity is provided in \texttt{results\$GSActEst} including p-values for upregulation in \texttt{results\$GSUpreg} and downregulation in \texttt{results\$GSDownreg}.

\subsection{Example: GIST Analysis}

\par We also provide the code that repeats the CoGAPS analysis of GIST data (GIST\_TS\_20084) with gene sets defined by transcription factors (TFGSList), as in the DESIDE analysis of \cite{Ochs2009}.  To minimize time in running the vignette, this is not done live.  However, running the code will complete the analysis and require on the order of an hour on a fast machine.

\section{Using CoGAPS-based statistics to infer gene membership in annotated gene sets}

\par As we describe in the previous section, the GAPS matrix factorization can be used to infer gene set activity in each pattern using the function \texttt{calcCoGAPSStat} \cite{Ochs2009}.  The \texttt{computeGeneGSProb} function extends this gene set statistic to compute a statistic quantifying the likely membership of each gene annotated to a set based upon its inferred activity \cite{Fertig2012}.  This statistic is formulated by comparing the expression pattern computed with CoGAPS of a given gene $g$ annotated as a member of $\mathcal{G}$ to the common expression pattern of all annotated members of $\mathcal{G}$.  This similarity is quantified with the following summary statistic
\begin{equation}
S_{g,\mathcal{G}} = \frac{\sum_{p} -log\left(\mbox{Pr}_{\mathcal{G}p}\right){\bf{A}}_{gp}/{\bf{Asd}}_{gp}}{\sum_{p} -log\left(\mbox{Pr}_{\mathcal{G}p}\right)},
\label{eq:summaryGSStat}
\end{equation}
where $\mbox{Pr}_{\mathcal{G}p}$ is the probability of upregulation of the geneset, returned from \texttt{calcCoGAPSStat} as \texttt{GSActEst} based upon eq.~(\ref{eq:avgZ}).  Similar to the gene set statistics, p-values for the set membership are computed with permutation tests that compare the value of $S_{g,\mathcal{G}}$ from eq.~(\ref{eq:summaryGSStat}) to the statistic formulated for a random gene set of the same size that also contains gene $g$.  

\par The set membership statistic is computed from the results from the GAPS matrix factorization, computed with either the \texttt{GAPS} function described in Section \ref{GAPSR un} or the \texttt{CoGAPS} function described in Section \ref{CoGAPSRun} as follows:
\begin{verbatim}
> computeGeneGSProb(Amean, Asd, GStoGenes, numPerm=500)
\end{verbatim}

\par \noindent \textbf{\underline{Input Arguments}}
\begin{description}
\item[Amean]{Mean of the amplitude matrix estimated from the GAPS matrix factorization}
\item[Asd]{Standard deviation of the amplitude matrix estimated from the GAPS matrix factorization}
\item[GStoGenes]{List or data frame containing the genes in each gene set. If a list, gene set names are the list names and corresponding elements are the names of genes contained in each set. If a data frame, gene set names are in the first column and corresponding gene names are listed in rows beneath each gene set name.}
\item[nPerm]{Number of permutations used for the null distribution in the gene set and set membership statistics. (optional; default=500).}
\end{description}
  
\par \noindent \textbf{\underline{Function Output}}
\begin{description}
\item p-value of set membership for each gene specified in \texttt{GStoGenes}.
\end{description}

\subsection{Example on GIST Data}

\par Although not run in the interest of installation time, the following examples were used to generate some of the results in \cite{Fertig2012}, with the complete analysis code available from \url{http://astor.som.jhmi.edu/~ejfertig/ejfertig/Publications.html}.

\par This example refines transcription factor targets annotated in TRANSFAC (TFGSList) to identify context-specific targets from gene expression data (GIST\_TS\_20084)from \cite{Ochs2009}.  

<<eval=FALSE, keep.source=TRUE>>=

# define transcription factors of interest based on Ochs et al. (2009)
TFs <- c("c.Jun", 'NF.kappaB', 'Smad4', "STAT3", "Elk.1", "c.Myc", "E2F.1",
         "AP.1", "CREB", "FOXO", "p53", "Sp1")

# take the results from the previously run analysis
# set membership statistics
permTFStats <- list()
for (tf in TFs) {
     genes <- levels(tf2ugFC[,tf])
     genes <- genes[2:length(genes)]
     permTFStats[[tf]] <- computeGeneTFProb(Amean = results$Amean,
