reduce_dimensionality performs an eigenanalysis of the given dissimilarity matrix
and returns coordinates of the samples represented in an ndim-dimensional space.
Usage
reduce_dimensionality(
x,
dist = c("spearman", "pearson", "euclidean", "cosine", "manhattan"),
ndim = 3,
num_landmarks = 1000
)Arguments
- x
a numeric matrix
- dist
the distance metric to be used; can be any of the metrics listed in
dynutils::calculate_distance().- ndim
the maximum dimension of the space which the data are to be represented in; must be in 1, 2, ..., n-1.
- num_landmarks
the number of landmarks to be selected.
Examples
## Generate an example dataset
dataset <- generate_dataset(num_genes = 200, num_samples = 400, num_groups = 4)
## Reduce the dimensionality of this dataset
space <- reduce_dimensionality(dataset$expression, ndim = 2)
## Visualise the dataset
draw_trajectory_plot(space, progression_group = dataset$sample_info$group_name)
