#> A 'ConsensusPartitionList' object with 24 methods.
#>   On a matrix with 7957 rows and 58 columns.
#>   Top rows are extracted by 'SD, CV, MAD, ATC' methods.
#>   Subgroups are detected by 'hclust, kmeans, skmeans, pam, mclust, NMF' method.
#>   Number of partitions are tried for k = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
#>   Performed in total 30000 partitions by row resampling.

The call of run_all_consensus_partition_methods() was:
#> run_all_consensus_partition_methods(data = mat, mc.cores = 4, anno = anno)
Dimension of the input matrix:
mat = get_matrix(res_list)
dim(mat)
#> [1] 7957   58
The density distribution for each sample is visualized as in one column in the following heatmap. The clustering is based on the distance which is the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistic between two distributions.
library(ComplexHeatmap)
densityHeatmap(mat, top_annotation = HeatmapAnnotation(df = get_anno(res_list), 
    col = get_anno_col(res_list)), ylab = "value", cluster_columns = TRUE, show_column_names = FALSE,
    mc.cores = 4)

Folowing table shows the best k (number of partitions) for each combination
of top-value methods and partition methods. Clicking on the method name in
the table goes to the section for a single combination of methods.
The cola vignette explains the definition of the metrics used for determining the best number of partitions.

Following heatmap plots the partition for each combination of methods and the lightness correspond to the silhouette scores for samples in each method. On top the consensus subgroup is inferred from all methods by taking the mean silhouette scores as weight.
collect_stats(res_list, k = 2)

collect_stats(res_list, k = 3)

collect_stats(res_list, k = 4)

collect_stats(res_list, k = 5)

collect_stats(res_list, k = 6)

Collect partitions from all methods:
collect_classes(res_list, k = 2)

collect_classes(res_list, k = 3)

collect_classes(res_list, k = 4)

collect_classes(res_list, k = 5)

collect_classes(res_list, k = 6)

Overlap of top rows from different top-row methods:
top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 796, method = "euler")

top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 1592, method = "euler")

top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 2387, method = "euler")

top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 3182, method = "euler")

top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 3978, method = "euler")

Also visualize the correspondance of rankings between different top-row methods:
top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 796, method = "correspondance")

top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 1592, method = "correspondance")

top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 2387, method = "correspondance")

top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 3182, method = "correspondance")

top_rows_overlap(res_list, top_n = 3978, method = "correspondance")

Heatmaps of the top rows:
top_rows_heatmap(res_list, top_n = 796)

top_rows_heatmap(res_list, top_n = 1592)

top_rows_heatmap(res_list, top_n = 2387)

top_rows_heatmap(res_list, top_n = 3182)

top_rows_heatmap(res_list, top_n = 3978)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["SD", "kmeans"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["SD:kmeans"]

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["SD", "skmeans"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["SD:skmeans"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().
get_stats(res)

#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["SD", "pam"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["SD:pam"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().
get_stats(res)

Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

...
The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.
test_to_known_factors(res)

#> SD:mclust 43         1.03e-08 3.45e-07 6
If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["SD", "NMF"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["SD:NMF"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:
res
#> A 'ConsensusPartition' object with k = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
#>   On a matrix with 7957 rows and 58 columns.
#>   Top rows (796, 1592, 2387, 3182, 3978) are extracted by 'SD' method.
#>   Subgroups are detected by 'NMF' method.

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["CV", "hclust"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["CV:hclust"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().
get_stats(res)

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 5
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

...
The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["CV", "kmeans"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["CV:kmeans"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:
res
#> A 'ConsensusPartition' object with k = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
#>   On a matrix with 7957 rows and 58 columns.
#>   Top rows (796, 1592, 2387, 3182, 3978) are extracted by 'CV' method.
#>   Subgroups are detected by 'kmeans' method.
#>   Performed in total 1250 partitions by row resampling.
#>   Best k for subgroups seems to be 3.

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["CV", "skmeans"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["CV:skmeans"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["CV", "pam"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["CV:pam"]

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["CV", "mclust"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["CV:mclust"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["MAD", "hclust"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["MAD:hclust"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 4
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["MAD", "kmeans"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["MAD:kmeans"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["MAD", "skmeans"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["MAD:skmeans"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["MAD", "pam"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["MAD:pam"]

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().
get_stats(res)

#> [1] 2
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

...
The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.
test_to_known_factors(res)

#> MAD:pam 54         2.10e-10 9.86e-09 6
If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["MAD", "mclust"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["MAD:mclust"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:
res
#> A 'ConsensusPartition' object with k = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
#>   On a matrix with 7957 rows and 58 columns.
#>   Top rows (796, 1592, 2387, 3182, 3978) are extracted by 'MAD' method.
#>   Subgroups are detected by 'mclust' method.
#>   Performed in total 1250 partitions by row resampling.

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.

Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["MAD", "NMF"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["MAD:NMF"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

...
The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["ATC", "hclust"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["ATC:hclust"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:
res
#> A 'ConsensusPartition' object with k = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
#>   On a matrix with 7957 rows and 58 columns.
#>   Top rows (796, 1592, 2387, 3182, 3978) are extracted by 'ATC' method.
#>   Subgroups are detected by 'hclust' method.
#>   Performed in total 1250 partitions by row resampling.

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["ATC", "kmeans"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["ATC:kmeans"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().
get_stats(res)

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 2
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

...
The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["ATC", "skmeans"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["ATC:skmeans"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:
res
#> A 'ConsensusPartition' object with k = 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
#>   On a matrix with 7957 rows and 58 columns.
#>   Top rows (796, 1592, 2387, 3182, 3978) are extracted by 'ATC' method.
#>   Subgroups are detected by 'skmeans' method.
#>   Performed in total 1250 partitions by row resampling.
#>   Best k for subgroups seems to be 3.
#>

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().
get_stats(res)

#> 2 2 0.999           0.949       0.980         0.4967 0.506   0.506

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 3
#> attr(,"optional")
#> [1] 2
There is also optional best \(k\) = 2 that is worth to check.
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["ATC", "pam"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["ATC:pam"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().
get_stats(res)

#> [1] 2
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["ATC", "mclust"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["ATC:mclust"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 4
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
The object with results only for a single top-value method and a single partition method can be extracted as:
res = res_list["ATC", "NMF"]
# you can also extract it by
# res = res_list["ATC:NMF"]
A summary of res and all the functions that can be applied to it:

collect_plots() function collects all the plots made from res for all k (number of partitions)
into one single page to provide an easy and fast comparison between different k.
collect_plots(res)

The plots are:
k and the heatmap of
predicted classes for each k.k.k.k.All the plots in panels can be made by individual functions and they are plotted later in this section.
select_partition_number() produces several plots showing different
statistics for choosing “optimized” k. There are following statistics:
k;k, the area increased is defined as \(A_k - A_{k-1}\).The detailed explanations of these statistics can be found in the cola vignette.
Generally speaking, lower PAC score, higher mean silhouette score or higher
concordance corresponds to better partition. Rand index and Jaccard index
measure how similar the current partition is compared to partition with k-1.
If they are too similar, we won't accept k is better than k-1.
select_partition_number(res)

The numeric values for all these statistics can be obtained by get_stats().

suggest_best_k() suggests the best \(k\) based on these statistics. The rules are as follows:
suggest_best_k(res)
#> [1] 2
Following shows the table of the partitions (You need to click the show/hide
code output link to see it). The membership matrix (columns with name p*)
is inferred by
clue::cl_consensus()
function with the SE method. Basically the value in the membership matrix
represents the probability to belong to a certain group. The finall class
label for an item is determined with the group with highest probability it
belongs to.
In get_classes() function, the entropy is calculated from the membership
matrix and the silhouette score is calculated from the consensus matrix.

Heatmaps for the consensus matrix. It visualizes the probability of two samples to be in a same group.
consensus_heatmap(res, k = 2)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 3)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 4)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 5)

consensus_heatmap(res, k = 6)

Heatmaps for the membership of samples in all partitions to see how consistent they are:
membership_heatmap(res, k = 2)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 3)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 4)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 5)

membership_heatmap(res, k = 6)

As soon as we have had the classes for columns, we can look for signatures which are significantly different between classes which can be candidate marks for certain classes. Following are the heatmaps for signatures.
Signature heatmaps where rows are scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2)

get_signatures(res, k = 3)

get_signatures(res, k = 4)

get_signatures(res, k = 5)

get_signatures(res, k = 6)

Signature heatmaps where rows are not scaled:
get_signatures(res, k = 2, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 3, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 4, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 5, scale_rows = FALSE)

get_signatures(res, k = 6, scale_rows = FALSE)

Compare the overlap of signatures from different k:
compare_signatures(res)

get_signature() returns a data frame invisibly. TO get the list of signatures, the function
call should be assigned to a variable explicitly. In following code, if plot argument is set
to FALSE, no heatmap is plotted while only the differential analysis is performed.
# code only for demonstration
tb = get_signature(res, k = ..., plot = FALSE)
An example of the output of tb is:

...
The columns in tb are:
which_row: row indices corresponding to the input matrix.fdr: FDR for the differential test. mean_x: The mean value in group x.scaled_mean_x: The mean value in group x after rows are scaled.km: Row groups if k-means clustering is applied to rows.UMAP plot which shows how samples are separated.
dimension_reduction(res, k = 2, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 3, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 4, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 5, method = "UMAP")

dimension_reduction(res, k = 6, method = "UMAP")

Following heatmap shows how subgroups are split when increasing k:
collect_classes(res)

Test correlation between subgroups and known annotations. If the known annotation is numeric, one-way ANOVA test is applied, and if the known annotation is discrete, chi-squared contingency table test is applied.

If matrix rows can be associated to genes, consider to use functional_enrichment(res,
...) to perform function enrichment for the signature genes. See this vignette for more detailed explanations.
