[adegenet-forum] $li in sPCA analysis

Hi Adegenet Forum,
Thanks in advance to anyone who has some advice to share with the forum on SPCA. If you're in a rush just read the parts in bold.
I've been using SPCA to look at spatial genetics patterns among lobster populations. I found positive local structure with the function local.rest and no global structure using global.rtest. I've followed Thibaut's advice in his previous sPCA email to forum and used $li to interpret local structure. I selected the local eigenvalue that had the highest levels of negative spatial autocorrelation and genetic variance for interpretation using the screeplot function. The $li values from this eigenvalue were then used to create an interpolated map.
My question for the forum is: What do the positive and negative $li values associated with the local eigenvalue mean? Do they correspond to levels of local (positive) and global (negative) scores at each location? Or are the $li values associated with the local eigenvalues simply a score for detecting local spatial genetic structure among sites and have nothing to do with global structure?
Best Wishes,
Nate

Hello,
I think you attached the wrong file.
Negative values and local structure are not related. Local structure = sharp differences between neighours. These would be overlooked by the lagged vector.
If the structure is clear enough, use $li.
As you have many overlapping points, s.value is suboptimal. You should consider using the colorplot, or interpolated maps. See the tutorial on sPCA for some example:

Hello Thibaut,
Thank you for the response.
In the file I have attached I see that with the $li variable there are no negative values in the southern sites while with the $ls values there are negative values in the south. It seems that I see more local spatial structure with $ls than with $li . When I tested the data with local test I got significant results. Which variable is better to present in a paper.
Thank you

Hello,
the lagged vector is the spatially weighted average of the original vector. That is, the value of the score at a given location is the weighted average of the neighbouring values. This basically smooths the patterns so that they can be detected / visualized more easily.
Cheers
Thibaut.

Hello
I have plotted the first PC of sPCA analysis using s.value once with z=my.pca$li[,1]
and once with z=my.pca$ls[,1]. The patterns seems to differ (see attached file). I do not understand what the lagged PC is representing. What is the meaning of "denoisified" in the practical day presentation (Google does not know). How do i interpent the difference. Please explain.

Hi All
This is my first time using adegenet. I'm trying to perform some
pre-processing on 1.3M SNPs (~800 individuals) so that I can use them for a
machine learning task. My data was stored in a format which had to be
converted to a genlight object. The data was split so that the information
for the SNPs in each chromosome was in a separate file. I've read each file
in, converted that to a genlight object and then concatenated the genlight
objects using cbind. All of that seems to work ok (except the position and
chromosome data went back to NULL during the concatenation and I had to
reset it on the combined genlight object).
So, now I want to do my own processing on each SNP and when I try to access
the information for this SNP over the 800 individuals, it takes ages to
extract. Is this because the encoding is done row wise, and so the whole
object needs to be decoded for me to get out the information I require? Is
there a way to transpose this genlight object so that I can access the data
for a single SNP across all individual quickly?
Thank you
Daniel

Dear Daniel,
yes, adegenet is designed for that kind of task. Please look at the
tutorial on adegenet-basics where you'll find examples of dimension
reduction for SNP data, to be found on:

Don't hesitate to use the adegenet-forum for further questions (see

Subject: Question about pre-processing of SNP data for machine learning
Dear Thibaut
I'm trying to build a model that uses SNP data as input. The problem I have
is that there is too much of it and I need a way to reduce the number or
the dimensionality of the data points so that I can use them as input to
machine learning algorithms (genome wide, 1.3 million SNPs, 800
individuals). I've done some searching and found this paper:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18076475 (pdf attached).
I also found your adegenet package and wondered if it's designed for doing
something like this? I'm not from this field and I'm having some trouble
working this out. Can you point me to anything that might help?
I'm not sure whether I should be keeping a subset of SNPs and how to find
that subset from the 1.3 million, or whether I should be reducing the
dimensionality.
Thank you
Daniel

Dear Daniel,
the loss of attributes after cbind indeed is a glitch. Would you mind creating a ticket about it?
https://sourceforge.net/p/adegenet/tickets/
You're right about the issue. The encoding is indeed done row-wise so the conversion is done many times over. There's no option for transposing the data, but one solution would be converting your data to integers by blocks so that conversion takes place less often, while still keep RAM requirements reasonable.
All the best
Thibaut

Dear Thibaut
Ok, I could try that. I could also try and use the genlight object in a
transposed manner just for the purposes of holding the data so that I can
access individual SNPs easily. I mean nothing else would work expect the
containment.
Thanks for the help

Dear Daniel,
yes, adegenet is designed for that kind of task. Please look at the
tutorial on adegenet-basics where you'll find examples of dimension
reduction for SNP data, to be found on:
http://adegenet.r-forge.r-project.org/
Don't hesitate to use the adegenet-forum for further questions (see
contacts on the website).
Best
Thibaut

Subject: Question about pre-processing of SNP data for machine learning
Dear Thibaut
I'm trying to build a model that uses SNP data as input. The problem I
have is that there is too much of it and I need a way to reduce the number
or the dimensionality of the data points so that I can use them as input to
machine learning algorithms (genome wide, 1.3 million SNPs, 800
individuals). I've done some searching and found this paper:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18076475 (pdf attached).
I also found your adegenet package and wondered if it's designed for doing
something like this? I'm not from this field and I'm having some trouble
working this out. Can you point me to anything that might help?
I'm not sure whether I should be keeping a subset of SNPs and how to find
that subset from the 1.3 million, or whether I should be reducing the
dimensionality.
Thank you
Daniel
