An R6 Class to represent a PLNfit in a sparse inverse covariance framework

The function PLNnetwork() produces a collection of models which are instances of object with class PLNnetworkfit. This class comes with a set of methods, some of them being useful for the user: See the documentation for plot() and methods inherited from PLNfit.

Method new()

Initialize a PLNnetworkfit object

Usage

PLNnetworkfit$new(data, control)

Arguments

data

a named list used internally to carry the data matrices

control

a list for controlling the optimization.

---

Method optimize()

Call to the C++ optimizer and update of the relevant fields

Usage

PLNnetworkfit$optimize(data, config)

Arguments

data

a named list used internally to carry the data matrices

config

a list for controlling the optimization

---

Method latent_network()

Extract interaction network in the latent space

Usage

PLNnetworkfit$latent_network(type = c("partial_cor", "support", "precision"))

Arguments

type

edge value in the network. Can be "support" (binary edges), "precision" (coefficient of the precision matrix) or "partial_cor" (partial correlation between species)

Returns

a square matrix of size PLNnetworkfit$n

---

Method plot_network()

plot the latent network.

Usage

PLNnetworkfit$plot_network(
  type = c("partial_cor", "support"),
  output = c("igraph", "corrplot"),
  edge.color = c("#F8766D", "#00BFC4"),
  remove.isolated = FALSE,
  node.labels = NULL,
  layout = layout_in_circle,
  plot = TRUE
)

Arguments

type

edge value in the network. Either "precision" (coefficient of the precision matrix) or "partial_cor" (partial correlation between species).

output

Output type. Either igraph (for the network) or corrplot (for the adjacency matrix)

edge.color

Length 2 color vector. Color for positive/negative edges. Default is c("#F8766D", "#00BFC4"). Only relevant for igraph output.

remove.isolated

if TRUE, isolated node are remove before plotting. Only relevant for igraph output.

node.labels

vector of character. The labels of the nodes. The default will use the column names ot the response matrix.

layout

an optional igraph layout. Only relevant for igraph output.

plot

logical. Should the final network be displayed or only sent back to the user. Default is TRUE.

---

Method show()

User friendly print method

Usage

PLNnetworkfit$show()

---

Method clone()

The objects of this class are cloneable with this method.

Usage

PLNnetworkfit$clone(deep = FALSE)

Arguments

deep

Whether to make a deep clone.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
data(trichoptera)
trichoptera <- prepare_data(trichoptera$Abundance, trichoptera$Covariate)
nets <- PLNnetwork(Abundance ~ 1, data = trichoptera)
myPLNnet <- getBestModel(nets)
class(myPLNnet)
print(myPLNnet)
} # }
