Graphical Gaussian Models: Assess Significance of Edges (and Directions)

Description

network.test.edges returns a data frame containing all edges listed in order of the magnitude of the partial correlation associated with each edge. If fdr=TRUE then in addition the p-values, q-values and posterior probabilities (=1 - local fdr) for each potential edge are computed.

extract.network returns a data frame with a subset of significant edges.

Usage

network.test.edges(r.mat, fdr=TRUE, direct=FALSE, plot=TRUE, ...)
extract.network(network.all, method.ggm=c("prob", "qval","number"), 
      cutoff.ggm=0.8, method.dir=c("prob","qval","number", "all"), 
      cutoff.dir=0.8, verbose=TRUE)

Arguments

r.mat

matrix of partial correlations

fdr

estimate q-values and local fdr

direct

compute additional statistics for obtaining a partially directed network

plot

plot density and distribution function and (local) fdr values

...

parameters passed on to fdrtool

network.all

list with partial correlations and fdr values for all potential edges (i.e. the output of network.test.edges

method.ggm

determines which criterion is used to select significant partial correlations (default: prob)

cutoff.ggm

default cutoff for significant partial correlations

method.dir

determines which criterion is used to select significant directions (default: prob)

cutoff.dir

default cutoff for significant directions

verbose

print information on the number of significant edges etc.

Details

For assessing the significance of edges in the GGM a mixture model is fitted to the partial correlations using fdrtool. This results in (i) two-sided p-values for the test of non-zero correlation, (ii) corresponding posterior probabilities (= 1- local fdr), as well as (iii) tail area-based q-values. See Sch"afer and Strimmer (2005) for details.

For determining putatative directions on this GGM log-ratios of standardized partial variances re estimated, and subsequently the corresponding (local) fdr values are computed - see Opgen-Rhein and Strimmer (2007).

Value

network.test.edges returns a data frame with the following columns:

pcor

correlation (from r.mat)

node1

first node connected to edge

node2

second node connected to edge

pval

p-value

qval

q-value

prob

probability that edge is nonzero (= 1-local fdr

log.spvar

log ratio of standardized partial variance (determines direction)

pval.dir

p-value (directions)

qval.dir

q-value (directions)

prob.dir

1-local fdr (directions)

Each row in the data frame corresponds to one edge, and the rows are sorted according the absolute strength of the correlation (from strongest to weakest)

extract.network processes the above data frame containing all potential edges, and returns a dataframe with a subset of edges. If applicable, an additional last column (11) contains additional information on the directionality of an edge.

Step 1... determine cutoff point
Step 2... estimate parameters of null distribution and eta0
Step 3... compute p-values and estimate empirical PDF/CDF
Step 4... compute q-values and local fdr
Step 5... prepare for plotting

Step 1... determine cutoff point
Step 2... estimate parameters of null distribution and eta0
Step 3... compute p-values and estimate empirical PDF/CDF
Step 4... compute q-values and local fdr
Step 5... prepare for plotting
