This is a brief introduction to the eclust package. This package clusters gene expression or DNA methylation data that is sensitive to environmental exposures. It is the companion package to the paper
Bhatnagar, SR., Yang, Y., Blanchette, M., Bouchard, L., Khundrakpam, B., Evans, A., Greenwood, CMT. (2017+). An analytic approach for interpretable predictive models in high dimensional data, in the presence of interactions with exposures. Preprint
The following figure is an overview of what the ECLUST method does:
You can install eclust
from CRAN:
install.packages("eclust")
Alternatively, you can install the development version of eclust
from GitHub with:
install.packages("pacman")
pacman::p_install_gh("sahirbhatnagar/eclust")
There are two datasets included in this package that can be loaded into your R
session via data(tcgaov)
and data(simdata)
:
tcgaov
: A dataset containing a subset of the TCGA mRNA Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma data generated using Affymetrix HTHGU133a arrays. 511 samples (rows) and 881 genes (columns).simdata
: A dataset containing simulated data for example use of the eclust
package functions. A matrix with 100 rows 500 genes, a continuous response Y and a binary environment vector E.This package has three sets of functions starting with either r_
, s_
or u_

)We will use the data(tcgaov)
dataset included in this package, which contains a subset of the TCGA mRNA Ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma data generated using Affymetrix HTHGU133a arrays. See ?tcgaov
for details about the data.
In the example below we use the r_cluster_data
to create the environment based clusters, and their summaries. We then use the r_prepare_data
function to get it into proper form for regression routines such as earth::earth
, glmnet::cv.glmnet
, and ncvreg::ncvreg
.

At this stage, you can decide which regression model to use. Here we choose the MARS model from the earth
package, but you may choose regression models from any number of packages (e.g. see the extensive list of models of models available in the caret
package).

You can also install the plotmo
package to visualise the relationships between the hinge functions and the response using plotmo::plotmo(fit_earth)
.
The u_extract_selected_earth
is a utility function in this package to extract the selected predictors from the MARS model:

s_
)The s_
functions were used to conduct the simulation studies in the Bhatnagar et.al (2017+). The s_modules
, s_generate_data
and s_generate_data_mars
are the main functions to generate the simulated data.
In the paper we designed 6 simulation scenarios that are constructed to illustrate different kinds of relationships between the variables and the response. For all scenarios, we have created high dimensional data sets with \(p\) predictors, and sample sizes of \(n\). We also assume that we have two data sets for each simulation - a training data set where the parameters are estimated, and a testing data set where prediction performance is evaluated, each of equal size \(n_{train} = n_{test}\). The number of subjects who were exposed (\(n_{E=1}=100\)) and unexposed (\(n_{E=0}=100\)) and the number of truly associated parameters (\(0.10 * p\)) remain fixed across the 6 simulation scenarios.
Let \[\begin{equation} Y = Y^* + k \cdot \varepsilon \label{eq:response} \end{equation}\]where \(Y^*\) is the linear predictor, the error term \(\varepsilon\) is generated from a standard normal distribution, and \(k\) is chosen such that the signal-to-noise ratio \(SNR = \left(Var(Y^*)/Var(\varepsilon)\right)\) is 0.2, 1 and 2 (e.g. the variance of the response variable \(Y\) due to \(\varepsilon\) is \(1/SNR\) of the variance of \(Y\) due to \(Y^*\)).
We generate covariate data in 5 blocks using the s_modules
function which is a wrapper of the simulateDatExpr
function from the WGCNA
package in R
(version 1.51). This generates data from a latent vector: first a seed vector is simulated, then covariates are generated with varying degree of correlation with the seed vector in a given block.
For the unexposed observations (\(E=0\)), only the predictors in the yellow block were simulated with correlation, while all other covariates were independent within and between blocks. For the exposed observations (\(E=1\)), all 5 blocks contained predictors that are correlated.
For simplicity, we will refer to the simulated data as gene expression data, with each column of the design matrix being a gene. First we generate gene expression data for \(p=1000\) genes, independently for the 100 unexposed (d0
) and 100 exposed (d1
) subjects using the s_modules
function. The exposed subjects are meant to have correlated genes while the unexposed subject don’t. The modProportions
argument is a numeric vector with length equal the number of modules you want to generate plus one, containing fractions of the total number of genes to be put into each of the modules and into the “grey module”, which means genes not related to any of the modules. In the following examples we generate 5 modules of equal size (15% of \(p\) each module) plus 1 “grey” module (25% of \(p\))
pacman::p_load(eclust)
d0 <- s_modules(n = 100, p = 1000, rho = 0, exposed = FALSE,
modProportions = c(0.15,0.15,0.15,0.15,0.15,0.25),
minCor = 0.01,
maxCor = 1,
corPower = 1,
propNegativeCor = 0.3,
backgroundNoise = 0.5,
signed = FALSE,
leaveOut = 1:4)
## simulateDatExpr: simulating 1000 genes in 5 modules.
d1 <- s_modules(n = 100, p = 1000, rho = 0.9, exposed = TRUE,
modProportions = c(0.15,0.15,0.15,0.15,0.15,0.25),
minCor = 0.4,
maxCor = 1,
corPower = 0.3,
propNegativeCor = 0.3,
backgroundNoise = 0.5,
signed = FALSE)
## simulateDatExpr: simulating 1000 genes in 5 modules.
# get the true cluster labels
truemodule1 <- d1$setLabels
table(truemodule1)
## truemodule1
## 0 1 2 3 4 5
## 250 150 150 150 150 150
Next we create the design matrix and label it. Note that the rows are the subjects and the columns are the genes. The first 100 rows correspond to the unexposed subjects, and the next 100 subjects correspond to the exposed subjects:
pacman::p_load(magrittr)
X <- rbind(d0$datExpr, d1$datExpr) %>%
magrittr::set_colnames(paste0("Gene", 1:1000)) %>%
magrittr::set_rownames(paste0("Subject",1:200))
Here we used the pheatmap
and viridis
packages to show the correlation matrices of the genes stratified by exposure status. The first figure corresponds to the unexposed \((E=0)\) subjects, and the second figure corresponds to the exposed \((E=1)\) subjects:
pacman::p_load(pheatmap)
pacman::p_load(viridis)
pheatmap::pheatmap(cor(X[1:100,]),
show_rownames = F,
show_colnames = F,
color = viridis(100))
pheatmap::pheatmap(cor(X[101:200,]),
show_rownames = F,
show_colnames = F,
color = viridis(100))
The first three simulation scenarios differ in how the linear predictor \(Y^*\) is defined, and also in the choice of regression model used to fit the data. In simulations 1 and 2 we use lasso (Tibshirani 1996) and elasticnet (Zou 2005) to fit linear models; then we use MARS (Friedman 1991) in simulation 3 to estimate non-linear effects. Simulations 4, 5 and 6 use the GLM version of these models, respectively, since the responses are binary.
For simulations 1 and 2 we used the s_generate_data
function to generate linear relationships beteween the response and genes, of the form:
where \(\beta_j \sim \textrm{Unif}\left[ 0.9,1.1\right]\) and . That is, only the first 50 predictors of both the red and green blocks are active. In this setting, only the main effects model is being fit to the simulated data.
We used the s_generate_data
with the include_interaction = TRUE
argument to generate responses of the form:
where \(\beta_j \sim \textrm{Unif}\left[ 0.9,1.1\right]\), \(\alpha_{j} \sim \textrm{Unif}\left[ 0.4,0.6\right]\), and \(\beta_E = 2\). In this setting, both the main effects and their interactions with E are being fit to the simulated data.
In this example we generate a response which depends on both the main effects and their interactions with E. We first generate the true \(\beta\) vector:
betaMainEffect <- vector("double", length = 1000)
betaMainInteractions <- vector("double", length = 1000)
# the first 25 in the 3rd block are active
betaMainEffect[which(truemodule1 %in% 3)[1:50]] <- runif(50, 0.9, 1.1)
# the first 25 in the 4th block are active
betaMainEffect[which(truemodule1 %in% 4)[1:50]] <- runif(50, 0.9, 1.1)
# the interaction effects
betaMainInteractions[which(betaMainEffect!=0)] <- runif(50, 0.4, 0.6)
# the environment effect
betaE <- 2
# the total beta vector
beta <- c(betaMainEffect, betaE, betaMainInteractions)
Next we run the s_generate_data
function to get the necessary results for the analysis step of the simulation study. This function creates a training and a test set of equal size by evenly divinding the subjects such that there are an equal number of exposed and unexposed in both training and test sets.
There are several choices to make here, but these are the most important arguments:
cluster_distance
: How should the genes, ignoring the exposure status of the individuals, be clustered? We choose the \(TOM\) matrix based on all subjects.eclust_distance
: How should the genes, accounting for the exposure status of the individuals, be clustered? We choose the difference of the exposure sensitive TOM matrices: \(TOM(X_{\textrm{diff}}) = |TOM_{E=1} - TOM_{E=0}|\)cut_method
: How should the number of clusters be determined? We choose the dynamicTreeCut::cutreeDynamic()
algorithm which automatically selects the number of clusters.result <- s_generate_data(p = 1000,

We used the s_generate_data_mars
function to generate non-linear effects of the predictors on the phenotype, of the form:
The s_generate_data_mars
works exactly the same way as the s_generate_data
function. The only difference is that the s_generate_data_mars
calls the s_response_mars
function to generate the response, whereas the s_generate_data
function calls the s_response
function to generate the response.
In our paper, we compare three general approaches as detailed in the table below:
There are 4 fitting functions corresponding to the approaches outlined in the table above, specifically made to be used with the simulated data:
function.name | General.Approach | model |
---|---|---|
s_pen_separate | SEPARATE | lasso, elasticnet, mcp, scad |
s_pen_clust | CLUST, ECLUST | lasso, elasticnet, mcp, scad |
s_mars_separate | SEPARATE | MARS |
s_mars_clust | CLUST, ECLUST | MARS |
In this example we fit a lasso to the clusters from the ECLUST method. The key argument here is the gene_groups
. We provide result[["clustersAddon"]]
to the gene_groups
function because it is the clustering result using the environment information. If we wanted to run the CLUST method, then we would provide result[["clustersAll"]]
to the gene_groups
argument, because result[["clustersAll"]]
is the clustering result from ignoring the environment information. We also specify summary = "pc"
and model = "lasso"
to specify that we want to use the 1st PC as the cluster representation and fit a lasso model to those clusters and their interaction with E
(as specified by the include_interaction = TRUE
argument)

The table below describes the measures of performance:
There is a plot method for similarity matrices included in this package, though it is very specific to the simulated data only since the resulting plot annotates the true cluster membership of the genes. The plot uses the pheatmap
package for the heatmaps along with the viridis
package for the color scheme so these packages need to be installed prior to using this function.
The plot method is for objects of class similarity
. The following objects, which are outputs of the s_generate_data
function, are objects of class similarity
:
object.name |
---|
tom_train_all |
tom_train_diff |
tom_train_e1 |
tom_train_e0 |
corr_train_all |
corr_train_diff |
corr_train_e1 |
corr_train_e0 |
fisherScore |
corScor |
To plot the heatmap of the similarity matrix, you need to provide it with the clustering tree, the cluster membership and the genes active in the response. In this example we plot the TOM matrix for the exposed subjects given by the tom_train_e1
object. The resulting heatmap has annotations for the cluster membership and if the gene is active in the response:
# check that the object is of class similarity
class(result$tom_train_e1)
## [1] "matrix" "similarity"
# get clustering tree
hc <- hclust(as.dist(1 - result$tom_train_e1), method = "average")
plot(result$tom_train_e1,
truemodule = truemodule1,
cluster_rows = hc,
cluster_cols = hc,
active = as.numeric(betaMainEffect!=0))
There is also a function that plots heatmaps of cluster summaries such as the 1st principal component or average by exposure status. This is a plot method for object of class eclust returned by the r_cluster_data
function. Two heatmaps, side-by-side are returned, where the first heatmap corresponds to the unexposed subjects and the second heatmap corresponds to the exposed subjects.
We check the class of the object returned from the clustering results on the tcgaov
data:
class(cluster_res)
## [1] "eclust"
We simply pass this object to the generic plot
function:
plot(cluster_res, show_column_names = FALSE)
