selectnet {netgwas}

Model selection

Description

Estimate the optimal regularization parameter at EM convergence based on different information criteria .

Usage

selectnet(netgwas.obj, opt.index= NULL, criteria= NULL, ebic.gamma=0.5, 
		   ncores= NULL, verbose= TRUE)

Arguments

netgwas.obj

An object with S3 class "netgwas"

opt.index

The program internally determines an optimal graph using opt.index= NULL. Otherwise, to manually choose an optimal graph from the graph path.

criteria

Model selection criteria. "ebic" and "aic" are available. BIC model selection can be calculated by fixing ebic.gamma = 0. Applicable only if opt.index= NULL.

ebic.gamma

The tuning parameter for ebic. Theebic.gamma = 0 results in bic model selection. The default value is 0.5. Applicable only opt.index= NULL.

ncores

The number of cores to use for the calculations. Using ncores = "all" automatically detects number of available cores and runs the computations in parallel.

verbose

If verbose = FALSE, printing information is disabled. The default value is TRUE. Applicable only opt.index= NULL.

Details

This function computes extended Bayesian information criteria (ebic), Bayesian information criteria, Akaike information criterion (aic) at EM convergence based on observed or joint log-likelihood. The observed log-likelihood can be obtained through

\ell_Y(\widehat{\Theta}_\lambda) = Q(\widehat{\Theta}_\lambda | \widehat{\Theta}^{(m)}) - H (\widehat{\Theta}_\lambda | \widehat{\Theta}^{(m)}),

Where Q can be calculated from netmap, netsnp, netphenogeno function and H function is

H(\widehat{\Theta}_\lambda | \widehat{\Theta}^{(m)}_\lambda) = E_z[\ell_{Z | Y}(\widehat{\Theta}_\lambda) | Y; \widehat{\Theta}_\lambda] = E_z[\log f(z)| Y ;\widehat{\Theta}_\lambda ] - \log p(y).

The "ebic" and "aic" model selection criteria can be obtained as follow

ebic(\lambda) = -2 \ell(\widehat{\Theta}_\lambda) + ( \log n + 4 \gamma \log p) df(\lambda)

aic(\lambda) = -2 \ell(\widehat{\Theta}_\lambda) + 2 df(\lambda)

where df refers to the number of non-zeros offdiagonal elements of \hat{\Theta}_\lambda, and \gamma \in [0, 1]. Typical value for for ebic.gamma is 1/2, but it can also be tuned by experience. Fixing ebic.gamma = 0 results in bic model selection.

Value

An obj with S3 class "selectnet" is returned:

opt.adj

The optimal graph selected from the graph path

opt.theta

The optimal precision matrix from the graph path

opt.sigma

The optimal covariance matrix from the graph path

ebic.scores

Extended BIC scores for regularization parameter selection at the EM convergence. Applicable if opt.index = NULL.

opt.index

The index of optimal regularization parameter.

opt.rho

The selected regularization parameter.

par.cor

A partial correlation matrix.

V.names

Variables name whose are not isolated.

and anything else that is included in the input netgwas.obj.
