big_univLinReg {bigstatsr} R Documentation

## Column-wise linear regression

### Description

Slopes of column-wise linear regressions of each column of a Filebacked Big Matrix, with some other associated statistics. Covariates can be added to correct for confounders.

### Usage

big_univLinReg(
X,
y.train,
ind.train = rows_along(X),
ind.col = cols_along(X),
covar.train = NULL,
thr.eigval = 1e-04,
ncores = 1
)


### Arguments

 X An object of class FBM. y.train Vector of responses, corresponding to ind.train. ind.train An optional vector of the row indices that are used, for the training part. If not specified, all rows are used. Don't use negative indices. ind.col An optional vector of the column indices that are used. If not specified, all columns are used. Don't use negative indices. covar.train Matrix of covariables to be added in each model to correct for confounders (e.g. the scores of PCA), corresponding to ind.train. Default is NULL and corresponds to only adding an intercept to each model. You can use covar_from_df() to convert from a data frame. thr.eigval Threshold to remove "insignificant" singular vectors. Default is 1e-4. ncores Number of cores used. Default doesn't use parallelism. You may use nb_cores.

### Value

A data.frame with 3 elements:

1. the slopes of each regression,

2. the standard errors of each slope,

3. the t-scores associated with each slope. This is also an object of class mhtest. See methods(class = "mhtest").

### Examples

set.seed(1)

X <- big_attachExtdata()
n <- nrow(X)
y <- rnorm(n)
covar <- matrix(rnorm(n * 3), n)

X1 <- X[, 1] # only first column of the Filebacked Big Matrix

# Without covar
test <- big_univLinReg(X, y)
## New class mhtest
class(test)
attr(test, "transfo")
attr(test, "predict")
## plot results
plot(test)
plot(test, type = "Volcano")
## To get p-values associated with the test
test$p.value <- predict(test, log10 = FALSE) str(test) summary(lm(y ~ X1))$coefficients[2, ]

# With all data
str(big_univLinReg(X, y, covar = covar))
summary(lm(y ~ X1 + covar))$coefficients[2, ] # With only half of the data ind.train <- sort(sample(n, n/2)) str(big_univLinReg(X, y[ind.train], covar.train = covar[ind.train, ], ind.train = ind.train)) summary(lm(y ~ X1 + covar, subset = ind.train))$coefficients[2, ]
