subnetworks {JGL}R Documentation

Identify subnetwork membership

Description

For each class, returns lists of all features belonging to subnetworks. (A subnetwork is defined as a collection of features C for which theta[C,!C]==0, and within which no further subnetworks can be identified. In other words, a block in the block diagonal structure of theta, or a set of features that can be connected through theta's edges.)

Usage

subnetworks(theta)

Arguments

theta

A list of pXp matrices, each an estimated sparse inverse covariance matrix. (For example, the result of FGL or GGL.)

Value

A list length K, each element of which is a list of subnetworks in class K. Each subnetwork is represented as a vector of feature names.

Examples

## load an example dataset with K=two classes, p=200 features, and n=100 samples per class:
data(example.data)
str(example.data)
## run fgl:
fgl.results = JGL(Y=example.data,penalty="fused",lambda1=.25,lambda2=.1)
## identify subnetworks
subnetworks(fgl.results$theta)
