**Run PLS-DA Contrasts of Univariate Results**
----------------------------------------------

**Author** - Arthur Eschenlauer (University of Minnesota, esch0041@umn.edu)


Motivation
----------

OPLS-DA\ :superscript:`®` and the SIMCA\ :superscript:`®` S-PLOT\ :superscript:`®` (Wiklund *et al.*, 2008) may be employed (e.g. Sun *et al.*, 2016) to identify features that are potential biomarkers, i.e. features that are potentially useful to discriminate to which class a sample should be assigned.  Workflow4Metabolomics (W4M, Giacomoni *et al.*, 2014, Guitton *et al.*, 2017) provides a suite of tools for preprocessing and statistical analysis of LC-MS, GC-MS, and NMR metabolomics data; however, it does not (as of release 3.0) include a tool for making the equivalent of an S-PLOT.

The S-PLOT is computed from mean-centered, pareto-scaled data.  This plot presents the correlation of the first score vector from an OPLS-DA model with the sample-variables used to produce that model versus the covariance of the scores with the sample-variables.  For OPLS-DA, the first score vector represents the variation among the sample-variables that is explained by the contrasting factor.

The principal aims of this tool are:

- To compute multiple contrasts with OPLS-DA and the covariance vs. correlation plot.
- To visualize multiple contrasts compactly yet informatively.
- To write the results to data files for use in further multivariate analysis or visualization.


Description
-----------

The purpose of the 'PLS-DA Contrasts' tool is to identify and visualize GC-MS or LC-MS features that are possible biomarkers.

The W4M 'Univariate' tool (Thévenot *et al.*, 2015) adds the results of family-wise corrected pairwise significance-tests as columns of the **variableMetadata** dataset.
For instance, suppose that you ran Kruskal-Wallis testing for a column named 'cluster' in sampleMetadata that has values 'k1' and 'k2' and at least one other value.

- A column of variableMetadata would be labeled 'cluster_kruskal_sig' and would have values '1' and '0', where '1' means that, when the samples are grouped by 'cluster', there is strong evidence against the hypothesis that there is no difference among the intensities for the feature across all sample-groups.
- A column of variableMetadata would be labeled 'cluster_kruskal_k1.k2_sig' and would have values '1' and '0', where '1' means that there is significant evidence against the hypothesis that samples from sampleMetadata whose 'cluster' column contains 'k1' or 'k2' have the same intensity for that feature.

The 'PLS-DA Contrasts' tool produces graphics and data for OPLS-DA contrasts of feature-intensities between significantly different pairs of factor-levels.  For each factor-level, the tool performs a contrast with all other factor-levels combined and then separately with each other factor-level.

This tool can be used in a purely exploratory manner by supplying the variableMetadata file without the columns added by the W4M 'Univariate' tool.  However, the preferred workflow (Thévenot *et al.*, 2015) is to use univariate testing to exclude features that are not significantly different and use OPLS-DA to visualize the differences identified in univariate testing; an appropriate exception would be to visualize contrasts of a specific list of metabolites.

It must be stressed that there may be no definitive computational approach to select features that are guaranteed to be reliable biomarkers.  Possible methods are examining extreme values on S-PLOTs, examining "variable importance in projection VIP for OPLS-DA" (Galindo-Prieto *et al.* 2014), or examining a feature's "selectivity ratio" (Rajalahti *et al.*, 2009).  In this spirit, this tool reports the S-PLOT covariance and correlation (Wiklund *op. cit.*) and VIP metrics, and it introduces an informal "salience" metric to flag features that may merit attention without dimensional reduction; future versions may add selectivity ratio.  Regardless of how any potential biomarker is identified, it should be subjected to further validation analysis before it is recommended for general application.

	| variable x metadata **variableMetadata** (tabular separated values) file of the numeric and/or character variable metadata, with . as decimal and NA for missing values
	|

[IN] Test
	| Name of the **statistical test** - a component of column names in variable metadata table
	| May be one of 'none', 'ttest', 'gwilcoxon', 'anova', 'kruskal', 'pearson', 'spearman'
	|

[IN] Factor of interest
	| Name of the **column of sampleMetadata** corresponding to the qualitative or quantitative variable
	|

[IN] Retain only pairwise-significant features
	| When true, for each contrast of two levels, include only those features which pass the significance threshold for that contrast.  Choosing true results in an OPLS-DA model that better reflects and visualizes the difference detected by univariate analysis, with somewhat increased reliability of prediction (as assessed by cross-validation).
	| When false, include all features that pass the significance threshold when testing for difference across all factor-levels.  This choice produces a plot that displays more features but is not necessarily more informative.
	|

[IN] Levels of interest
	| comma-separated **level-names** (or comma-less regular expressions to match level-names) to consider in analysis; must match at least two levels; may include wild cards or regular expressions
	|

[IN] Level-name matching
	| How to **specify levels generically** - wild cards, regular expressions, or none (no generic matching)

[OUT] Contrast-detail output PDF
	| Several plots for each two-projection OPLS-DA analysis:

- (top-left) **correlation-versus-covariance plot** of OPLS-DA results (a work-alike for the S-PLOT, computed using formula in Supplement to Wiklund, *op. cit.*); point-color becomes saturated as the "variable importance in projection to the predictive components" (VIP\ :subscript:`4,p` from Galindo-Prieto *et al.* 2014) ranges from 0.83 and 1.21 (Mehmood *et al.* 2012)
- (bottom-left) **model-overview plot** for the two projections; grey bars are the correlation coefficient for the fitted data; black bars indicate performance in cross-validation tests (Thévenot, 2017)
- (top-right) OPLS-DA **scores-plot** for the two projections (Thévenot *et al.*, 2015)
- (bottom-right) OPLS-DA **loadings-plot** for the two projections (*ibid.*)

[OUT] Contrast Correlation-Covarinace data TABULAR
	| A tab-separated values file having the following columns:

- **featureID** - feature-identifier
- **factorLevel1** - factor-level 1
- **factorLevel2** - factor-level 2 (or "other" when contrasting factor-level 1 with all other levels)
- **correlation** - correlation of the features projection explaining the difference between the features, < 0 when intensity for level 1 is greater (from formula in Supplement to Wiklund, *op. cit.*)
- **covariance** - covariance of the features projection explaining the difference between the features, < 0 when intensity for level 1 is greater (from formula in *ibid.*)
- **vip4p** - "variable importance in projection" to the predictive components (VIP\ :subscript:`4,p` from Galindo-Prieto *op. cit.*)
- **vip4o** - "variable importance in projection" to the orthogonal components (VIP\ :subscript:`4,o` from Galindo-Prieto *op. cit.*)
- **level1Level2Sig** - (Only present when a test other than "none" is chosen) '1' when feature varies significantly across all classes (i.e., not pair-wise); '0' otherwise

[OUT] Feature "Salience" data TABULAR
	| Metrics for the "salient level" for each feature, i.e., the level at which the feature is more prominent than any other level.  This is *not* at all related to the SIMCA OPLS-DA S-PLOT; rather, it is intended as a potential (and unproven) way to identify features that may suggest potential biomarkers without dimensional reduction of data.  This is a tab-separated values file having the following columns:

- **featureID** - feature identifier
- **salientLevel** - salient level, i.e., for the feature, the class-level having the greatest median intensity
- **salientRCV** - salient robust coefficient of variation, i.e., for the feature, the mean absolute deviation of the intensity for the salient level divided by the median intensity for the salient level
- **salience** - salience, i.e., for the feature, the median of the class-level having the greatest intensity divided by the mean of the medians for all class-levels

Wild card patterns to match level-names
---------------------------------------

"wild card" patterns may be used to select level-names.

- use '``?``' to match a single character
- use '``*``' to match zero or more characters
- the entire pattern must match the level name

For example

- '``??.le*``' matches '``my.level``' but not '``my.own.level``'
- '``*.level``' matches '``my.level``' and '``my.own.level``'
- '``*.level``' matches neither '``my.level``' nor '``my.own.level``'

Regular expression patterns to match level-names
------------------------------------------------

"regular expression" patterns may be used to select level-names.

POSIX 1003.2 standard regular expressions allow precise pattern-matching and are exhaustively defined at:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap09.html

However, only a few basic building blocks of regular expressions need to be mastered for most cases:

- '``^``' matches the beginning of a level-name
- '``$``' matches the end of a level-name
- '``.``' outside of square brackets matches a single character
- '``*``' matches character specified immediately before zero or more times
- square brackets specify a set of characters to be matched.

Within square brackets

- '``^``' as the first character specifies that the list of characters are those that should **not** be matched.
- '``-``' is used to specify ranges of characters

Caveat: The tool wrapper uses the comma ('``,``') to split a list of sample-level names, so **commas may not be used within regular expressions for this tool**

First Example: Consider a field of level-names consisting of '``marq3,marq6,marq9,marq12,front3,front6,front9,front12``'

- The regular expression '``^front[0-9][0-9]*$``' will match the same sample-levels as '``front3,front6,front9,front12``'
- The regular expression '``^[a-z][a-z]3$``' will match the same sample-levels as '``front3,marq3``'
- The regular expression '``^[a-z][a-z]12$``' will match the same sample-levels as '``front12,marq12``'
- The regular expression '``^[a-z][a-z][0-9]$``' will match the same sample-levels as '``front3,front6,front9,marq3,marq6,marq9``'

Second Example: Consider these regular expression patterns as possible matches to a sample-level name '``AB0123``':

- '``^[A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9]*$``' - MATCHES '``**^AB0123$**``'
- '``^[A-Z][A-Z]*[0-9][0-9]*$``' - MATCHES '``**^AB0123$**``'
- '``^[A-Z][0-9]*``' - MATCHES  '``**^A** B0123$``' - first character is a letter, '``*``' can specify zero characters, and end of line did not need to be matched.
- '``^[A-Z][A-Z][0-9]``' - MATCHES  '``**^AB0** 123$``' - first two characters are letters aind the third is a digit.
- '``^[A-Z][A-Z]*[0-9][0-9]$``' - NO MATCH - the name does not end with the pattern '``[A-Z][0-9][0-9]$``', i.e., it ends with four digits, not two.
- '``^[A-Z][0-9]*$``' - NO MATCH - the pattern specifies that second character and all those that follow, if present, must be digits.
