singR: An R package for Simultaneous non-Gaussian Component Analysis for data integration

singR

singR package is built on SING method https://github.com/thebrisklab/SING. SING is used to extract joint and individual non-gaussian components from different datasets. This is a tutorial example supporting the paper Simultaneous Non-Gaussian Component Analysis (SING) for Data Integration in Neuroimaging Benjamin Risk, Irina Gaynanova https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.00597v1

Installation

You can install singR from github with:

library(devtools)
install_github("thebrisklab/singR")

If you want to install it on Mac OS, the installation tips is here:

1.Make sure all the R packages used in singR are updated to the recommended version.

2.Try to install singR, if there is an error saying:

ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/opt/R/arm64/gfortran/lib/gcc/aarch64-apple-darwin20.2.0/11.0.0'
ld: warning: directory not found for option '-L/opt/R/arm64/gfortran/lib'
ld: library not found for -lgfortran
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Then go to: /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/etc/Makeconf Change FLIBS from

FLIBS =  -L/opt/R/arm64/gfortran/lib/gcc/aarch64-apple-darwin20.2.0/11.0.0 -L/opt/R/arm64/gfortran/lib -lgfortran -lemutls_w -lm

to

FLIBS =  -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib/gcc/aarch64-apple-darwin20.2.0/11.0.0 -L/usr/local/gfortran/lib -lgfortran -lm

3.Download the .tar.xz file from https://github.com/fxcoudert/gfortran-for-macOS/releases/tag/11-arm-alpha2 using the browser, unpack it under /usr/local so that the “gfortran” folder is there.

4.Install singR again, it should be installed successfully.

Quick Start Guide

To illustrate the use of , we provide an example .

The tutorial dataset exampledata are included in the package. We generate the SING model in @ref(eq:two) as follows. We generate joint subject scores MJ = [mJ1, mJ2] ∈ ℝn × 2 with mJ1 ∼ N(μ1, In), mJ2 ∼ N(μ2, In), μ1 = (124⊤, −124⊤)⊤ and μ2 = (−124⊤, 124⊤)⊤. We set Dx = I and Dy = diag(−5, 2) to have differences in both sign and scale between the two datasets. We generate MIx and MIy similar to MJ using iid unit variance Gaussian entries with means equal to μ3y = (−16⊤, 16⊤, −16⊤, 16⊤, −16⊤, 16⊤ − 16⊤, −16⊤)⊤, μ4y = (124⊤, −124⊤)⊤, μ3x = (−112⊤, 112⊤, −112⊤, 112⊤)⊤, μ4x = (112⊤, −112⊤, 112⊤, −112⊤)⊤. These means result in various degrees of correlation between the columns of the mixing matrices. For the Gaussian noise, we generate MNx, MNy, Nx and Ny using iid standard Gaussian mean zero entries.

Function singR performs all steps in the SING pipeline as a single function

We first illustrate the use of the wrapper function singR using the default settings. We will describe optional arguments in more detail in example 2.

example1=singR(dX = data$dX,dY = data$dY,individual = T)

Details of the SING pipeline

We next explain each of the steps involved in SING estimation. Using these individual functions in place of the high-level singR function allows additional fine-tuning and can be helpful for large datasets.

Estimate the number of non-Gaussian components in datasets dX and dY using FOBIasymp from :

n.comp.X = NG_number(data$dX)
n.comp.Y = NG_number(data$dY)

Apply lngca separately to each dataset using the JB statistic as the measure of non-Gaussianity:

# JB on X
estX_JB = lngca(xData = data$dX, n.comp = n.comp.X, whiten = 'sqrtprec',
                restarts.pbyd = 20, distribution='JB')
Uxfull <- estX_JB$U  
Mx_JB = est.M.ols(sData = estX_JB$S, xData = data$dX) 

# JB on Y
estY_JB = lngca(xData = data$dY, n.comp = n.comp.Y, whiten = 'sqrtprec',
                restarts.pbyd = 20, distribution='JB')
Uyfull <- estY_JB$U
My_JB = est.M.ols(sData = estY_JB$S, xData = data$dY)

Use greedymatch to reorder Ûx and Ûy by descending matched correlations and use permTestJointRank to estimate the number of joint components:

matchMxMy = greedymatch(scale(Mx_JB,scale = F), scale(My_JB,scale = F), Ux = Uxfull, Uy = Uyfull)
permJoint <- permTestJointRank(matchMxMy$Mx,matchMxMy$My)
joint_rank = permJoint$rj

For preparing input to curvilinear_c, manually prewhiten dX and dY to get L̂x−1 and L̂y−1:

# Center X and Y
dX=data$dX
dY=data$dY
n = nrow(dX)
pX = ncol(dX)
pY = ncol(dY)
dXcentered <- dX - matrix(rowMeans(dX), n, pX, byrow = F)
dYcentered <- dY - matrix(rowMeans(dY), n, pY, byrow = F)

# For X
# Scale rowwise
est.sigmaXA = tcrossprod(dXcentered)/(pX-1)  
whitenerXA = est.sigmaXA%^%(-0.5)    
xDataA = whitenerXA %*% dXcentered   
invLx = est.sigmaXA%^%(0.5) 

# For Y
# Scale rowwise
est.sigmaYA = tcrossprod(dYcentered)/(pY-1)  
whitenerYA = est.sigmaYA%^%(-0.5)  
yDataA = whitenerYA %*% dYcentered   
invLy = est.sigmaYA%^%(0.5)

Obtain a reasonable value for the penalty ρ by calculating the JB statistics for all the joint components:

# Calculate the Sx and Sy.
Sx=matchMxMy$Ux[1:joint_rank,] %*% xDataA
Sy=matchMxMy$Uy[1:joint_rank,] %*% yDataA

JBall = calculateJB(Sx)+calculateJB(Sy)

# Penalty used in curvilinear algorithm:
rho = JBall/10

Estimate Ûx and Ûy with curvilinear_c:

# alpha=0.8 corresponds to JB weighting of skewness and kurtosis (can customize to use different weighting):
alpha = 0.8
#tolerance:
tol = 1e-10

out <- curvilinear_c(invLx = invLx, invLy = invLy, xData = xDataA,
                                 yData = yDataA, Ux = matchMxMy$Ux, Uy = matchMxMy$Uy,
                                 rho = rho, tol = tol, alpha = alpha,
                                 maxiter = 1500, rj = joint_rank)

Obtain the final result:

# Estimate Sx and Sy and true S matrix 
Sjx = out$Ux[1:joint_rank, ] %*% xDataA 
Six = out$Ux[(joint_rank+1):n.comp.X, ] %*% xDataA
Sjy = out$Uy[1:joint_rank, ] %*% yDataA
Siy = out$Uy[(joint_rank+1):n.comp.Y, ] %*% yDataA

# Estimate Mj and true Mj 
Mxjoint = tcrossprod(invLx, out$Ux[1:joint_rank, ])
Mxindiv = tcrossprod(invLx, out$Ux[(joint_rank+1):n.comp.X, ])
Myjoint = tcrossprod(invLy, out$Uy[1:joint_rank, ])
Myindiv = tcrossprod(invLy, out$Uy[(joint_rank+1):n.comp.Y, ])

# signchange to keep all the S and M skewness positive
Sjx_sign = signchange(Sjx,Mxjoint)
Sjy_sign = signchange(Sjy,Myjoint)
Six_sign = signchange(Six,Mxindiv)
Siy_sign = signchange(Siy,Myindiv)

Sjx = Sjx_sign$S
Sjy = Sjy_sign$S
Six = Six_sign$S
Siy = Siy_sign$S

Mxjoint = Sjx_sign$M
Myjoint = Sjy_sign$M
Mxindiv = Six_sign$M
Myindiv = Siy_sign$M
