Perform scater PCA on a SingleCellExperiment Object

A wrapper to runPCA function to compute principal component analysis (PCA) from a given SingleCellExperiment object.

scaterPCA(
  inSCE,
  useAssay = "logcounts",
  useFeatureSubset = NULL,
  scale = TRUE,
  reducedDimName = "PCA",
  nComponents = 50,
  useAltExp = NULL,
  seed = NULL,
  BPPARAM = BiocParallel::SerialParam()
)

Arguments

inSCE

Input SingleCellExperiment object.

useAssay

Assay to use for PCA computation. If useAltExp is specified, useAssay has to exist in assays(altExp(inSCE, useAltExp)). Default "logcounts"

useFeatureSubset

Subset of feature to use for dimension reduction. A character string indicating a rowData variable that stores the logical vector of HVG selection, or a vector that can subset the rows of inSCE. Default NULL.

scale

Logical scalar, whether to standardize the expression values. Default TRUE.

reducedDimName

Name to use for the reduced output assay. Default "PCA".

nComponents

Number of principal components to obtain from the PCA computation. Default 50.

useAltExp

The subset to use for PCA computation, usually for the selected.variable features. Default NULL.

seed

Integer, random seed for reproducibility of PCA results. Default NULL.

BPPARAM

A BiocParallelParam object specifying whether the PCA should be parallelized.

Value

A SingleCellExperiment object with PCA computation updated in reducedDim(inSCE, reducedDimName).

Examples

data(scExample, package = "singleCellTK")
sce <- subsetSCECols(sce, colData = "type != 'EmptyDroplet'")
sce <- scaterlogNormCounts(sce, "logcounts")
sce <- scaterPCA(sce, "logcounts", scale = TRUE)
