gene <- read.table("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/statOmics/SGA21/master/data/kpna2.txt",header=TRUE)
head(gene)

We will transform the variable grade and node to a factor

gene$grade <- as.factor(gene$grade)
gene$node <- as.factor(gene$node)

2.2 Summary statistics

geneSum <- gene %>%
  group_by(grade) %>%
  summarize(mean = mean(gene),
            sd = sd(gene),
            n=length(gene)
            ) %>%
  mutate(se = sd/sqrt(n))
geneSum

2.3 Visualisation

gene %>%
  ggplot(aes(x=grade,y=gene)) +
  geom_boxplot(outlier.shape=NA) +
  geom_jitter()

We can also save the plots as objects for later use!

p1 <- gene %>%
  ggplot(aes(x=grade,y=gene)) +
  geom_boxplot(outlier.shape=NA) +
  geom_jitter()

p2 <- gene %>%
  ggplot(aes(sample=gene)) +
  geom_qq() +
  geom_qq_line() +
  facet_wrap(~grade)

• testing + CI $ $ Assumptions

---

• In general we start from alternative hypothese \(H_A\): we want to show an association

• Gene expression of grade 1 and grade 3 patients is on average different

• But, we will assess it by falsifying the opposite:

• The average KPNA2 gene expression of grade 1 and grade 3 patients is equal

---

• How likely is it to observe an equal or more extreme association than the one observed in the sample when the null hypothesis is true?

• When we make assumptions about the distribution of our test statistic we can quantify this probability: p-value.

• If the p-value is below a significance threshold \(\alpha\) we reject the null hypothesis

We control the probability on a false positive result at the \(\alpha\)-level (type I error)

• The p-value will only be calculated correctly if the underlying assumptions hold!

• Commonly log2-transformed
• Differences on log scale:

\[ \log_2(B) - \log_2(A) = \log_2 \frac{B}{A} = \log_2 FC_{\frac{B}{A}} \]

3.2 Conclusion

There is a extremely significant association of the histological grade on the gene expression in tumor tissue. On average, the gene expression for the grade 3 patients is 2.43 times higher than the gene expression in grade 1 patients (95% CI [1.93, 3.05], \(p<<0.001\)).

---

---

The patients also differ in the their lymph node status. Hence, we have a two factorial design: grade x lymph node status!!!

Solution??

4 General Linear Model

How can we integrate multiple factors and continuous covariates in linear model.

\[ y_i= \beta_0 + \beta_1 x_{i,1} + \beta_2 x_{i,2} + \beta_{12}x_{i,1}x_{i,2}+\epsilon_i, \] with

• \(x_{i,1}\) a dummy variable for histological grade: \(x_{i,1}=\begin{cases} 0& \text{grade 1}\\ 1& \text{grade 3} \end{cases}\)
• \(x_{i,2}\) a dummy variable for : \(x_{i,2}=\begin{cases} 0& \text{lymph nodes were not removed}\\ 1& \text{lymph nodes were removed} \end{cases}\)
• \(\epsilon_i\)?

4.3 Breast cancer example

• Paper: https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/djj052
• Histologic grade in breast cancer provides clinically important prognostic information. Two factors have to be concidered: Histologic grade (grade 1 and grade 3) and lymph node status (0 vs 1). The researchers assessed gene expression of the KPNA2 gene a protein-coding gene associated with breast cancer and are mainly interested in the association of histological grade. Note, that the gene variable consists of background corrected normalized intensities obtained with a microarray platform. Upon log-transformation, they are known to be a good proxy for the \(\log\) transformed concentration of gene expression product of the KPNA2 gene.

5 Linear regression in matrix form

5.1 Scalar form

• Consider a vector of predictors \(\mathbf{x}=(x_1,\ldots,x_p)^T\) and
• a real-valued response \(Y\)
• then the linear regression model can be written as \[ Y=f(\mathbf{x}) +\epsilon=\beta_0+\sum\limits_{j=1}^p x_j\beta_j + \epsilon \] with i.i.d. \(\epsilon\sim N(0,\sigma^2)\)

5.2 Matrix form

• \(n\) observations \((\mathbf{x}_1,y_1) \ldots (\mathbf{x}_n,y_n)\)
• Regression in matrix notation \[\mathbf{Y}=\mathbf{X\beta} + \mathbf{\epsilon}\] with \(\mathbf{Y}=\left[\begin{array}{c}y_1\\ \vdots\\y_n\end{array}\right]\), \(\mathbf{X}=\left[\begin{array}{cccc} 1&x_{11}&\ldots&x_{1p}\\ \vdots&\vdots&&\vdots\\ 1&x_{n1}&\ldots&x_{np} \end{array}\right]\), \(\mathbf{\beta}=\left[\begin{array}{c}\beta_0\\ \vdots\\ \beta_p\end{array}\right]\) and \(\mathbf{\epsilon}=\left[\begin{array}{c} \epsilon_1 \\ \vdots \\ \epsilon_n\end{array}\right]\)

5.3 Least Squares (LS)

• Minimize the residual sum of squares \[\begin{eqnarray*} RSS(\mathbf{\beta})&=&\sum\limits_{i=1}^n e^2_i\\ &=&\sum\limits_{i=1}^n \left(y_i-\beta_0-\sum\limits_{j=1}^p x_{ij}\beta_j\right)^2 \end{eqnarray*}\]
• or in matrix notation \[\begin{eqnarray*} RSS(\mathbf{\beta})&=&(\mathbf{Y}-\mathbf{X\beta})^T(\mathbf{Y}-\mathbf{X\beta})\\ &=&\Vert \mathbf{Y}-\mathbf{X\beta}\Vert^2_2 \end{eqnarray*}\] with the \(L_2\)-norm of a \(p\)-dim. vector \(v\) \(\Vert \mathbf{v} \Vert=\sqrt{v_1^2+\ldots+v_p^2}\) \(\rightarrow\) \(\hat{\mathbf{\beta}}=\text{argmin}_\beta \Vert \mathbf{Y}-\mathbf{X\beta}\Vert^2_2\)

---

5.3.1 Minimize RSS

\[ \begin{array}{ccc} \frac{\partial RSS}{\partial \mathbf{\beta}}&=&\mathbf{0}\\\\ \frac{(\mathbf{Y}-\mathbf{X\beta})^T(\mathbf{Y}-\mathbf{X\beta})}{\partial \mathbf{\beta}}&=&\mathbf{0}\\\\ -2\mathbf{X}^T(\mathbf{Y}-\mathbf{X\beta})&=&\mathbf{0}\\\\ \mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{X\beta}&=&\mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{Y}\\\\ \hat{\mathbf{\beta}}&=&(\mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{X})^{-1}\mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{Y} \end{array} \]

---

5.3.2 Geometric Interpretation

5.3.2.1 Toy dataset

We will illustrate this on a toy dataset

library(tidyverse)
data <- data.frame(x=1:3,y=c(1,2,2))
data

5.3.2.2 Matrix form for toy dataset

We can also write this in matrix form

\[ \mathbf{Y} = \mathbf{X}\boldsymbol{\beta}+\boldsymbol{\epsilon} \]

with

\[ \mathbf{Y}=\left[ \begin{array}{c} 1\\ 2\\ 2\\ \end{array}\right], \quad \mathbf{X}= \left[ \begin{array}{cc} 1&1\\ 1&2\\ 1&3\\ \end{array} \right], \quad \boldsymbol{\beta} = \left[ \begin{array}{c} \beta_0\\ \beta_1\\ \end{array} \right] \quad \text{and} \quad \boldsymbol{\epsilon}= \left[ \begin{array}{c} \epsilon_1\\ \epsilon_2\\ \epsilon_3 \end{array} \right] \]

5.3.2.3 Classical interpretation

Model fit and predictions based on the toy dataset

lm1 <- lm(y~x,data)
data$yhat <- lm1$fitted

data %>%
  ggplot(aes(x,y)) +
  geom_point() +
  ylim(0,4) +
  xlim(0,4) +
  stat_smooth(method = "lm", color = "red", fullrange = TRUE) +
  geom_point(aes(x=x, y =yhat), pch = 2, size = 3, color = "red") +
  geom_segment(data = data, aes(x = x, xend = x, y = y, yend = yhat), lty = 2 )

## `geom_smooth()` using formula 'y ~ x'

## Warning in max(ids, na.rm = TRUE): no non-missing arguments to max; returning
## -Inf

5.3.3 Projection

There is also another picture to regression:

• Instead of plotting each observation \(i= 1 \ldots n\) as a data-point in \(\mathbb{R}^p\) with dimensions \(1 \ldots p\) for every variable/feature that is recorded for each observation

• We can also plot \(\mathbf{Y}\), \(\hat{\mathbf{Y}}\) and each column of \(\mathbf{X}\): \(\mathbf{X}_j\) with \(j=1 \ldots p\) as a vector in \(\mathbb{R}^n\) with dimensions \(1 \ldots n\) for every observation.

• In this representation linear regression can be interpreted as a projection of the vector \(\mathbf{Y}\) onto the subspace of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) that is spanned by the vectors for the predictors \(\mathbf{X}_1 \ldots \mathbf{X}_p\).

• The space \(\mathbf{X}_1 \ldots \mathbf{X}_p\) is also referred to as the column space of \(\mathbf{X}\), the space that consists of all linear combinations of the vectors of the predictors or columns \(\mathbf{X}_1 \ldots \mathbf{X}_p\).

5.3.3.1 Intermezzo: Projection of vector on X and Y axis

\[ \mathbf{e}=\left[\begin{array}{c} e_1\\e_2\end{array}\right], \mathbf{u}_1 = \left[\begin{array}{c} 1\\0\end{array}\right], \mathbf{u}_2 = \left[\begin{array}{c} 0\\1\end{array}\right] \]

1. Projection of error on x-axis

\[\begin{eqnarray*} \mathbf{u}_1^T \mathbf{e} &=& \Vert \mathbf{u}_1\Vert_2 \Vert \mathbf{e}_1\Vert_2 \cos <\mathbf{u}_1,\mathbf{e}_1>\\ &=&\left[\begin{array}{cc} 1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c} e_1\\e_2\end{array}\right]\\ &=& 1\times e_1 + 0 \times e_2 \\ &=& e_1\\ \end{eqnarray*}\]

2. Projection of error on y-axis

\[\begin{eqnarray*} \mathbf{u}_2^T \mathbf{e} &=& \left[\begin{array}{cc} 1&0\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c} e_1\\e_2\end{array}\right]\\ &=& 0\times e_1 + 1 \times e_2 \\ &=& e_2 \end{eqnarray*}\]

3. Projection of error on itself

\[\begin{eqnarray*} \mathbf{e}^T \mathbf{e} &=&\left[\begin{array}{cc} e_1&e_2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{c} e_1\\e_2\end{array}\right]\\ &=&e_1^2+e_2^2\\ &=&\Vert e \Vert^2_2 \rightarrow \text{ Pythagorean theorem} \end{eqnarray*}\]

---

5.3.3.2 Interpretation of least squares as a projection

Fitted values:

\[ \begin{array}{lcl} \hat{\mathbf{Y}} &=& \mathbf{X}\hat{\boldsymbol{\beta}}\\ &=& \mathbf{X} (\mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{X})^{-1}\mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{Y}\\ &=& \mathbf{HY} \end{array} \] with \(\mathbf{H}\) the projection matrix also referred to as the hat matrix.

• We can also interpret the fit as the projection of the \(n\times 1\) vector \(\mathbf{Y}\) on the column space of the matrix \(\mathbf{X}\).

• So each column in \(\mathbf{X}\) is also an \(n\times 1\) vector.

• For the toy example n=3 and p=2. The other picture to linear regression is to consider \(X_0\), \(X_1\) and \(Y\) as vectors in the space of the data \(\mathbb{R}^n\), here \(\mathbb{R}^3\) because we have three data points. So the column space of X is a plane in the three dimensional space.

\[ \hat{\mathbf{Y}} = \mathbf{X} (\mathbf{X}^T\mathbf{X})^{-1} \mathbf{X}^T \mathbf{Y} \]

5.3.4 Error

Note, that it is also clear from the equation in the derivation of the least squares solution that the residual is orthogonal on the column space:

\[ -2 \mathbf{X}^T(\mathbf{Y}-\mathbf{X}\boldsymbol{\beta}) = 0 \]

5.5 Contrasts

Hypotheses often involve linear combinations of the model parameters!

e.g.

• \(H_0: \log_2{FC}_{g3n1-g1n1}= \beta_{g3} + \hat\beta_{g3n1}=0\) \(\rightarrow\) “grade3+grade3:node1 = 0”

• Let \[ \boldsymbol{\beta} = \left[ \begin{array}{c} \beta_{0}\\ \beta_{g3}\\ \beta_{n1}\\ \beta_{g3:n1} \end{array} \right]\]

• we can write that contrast using a contrast matrix: \[ \mathbf{L}=\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\1\\0\\1\end{array}\right] \rightarrow \mathbf{L}^T\boldsymbol{\beta} \]

• Then the variance becomes: \[ \text{var}_{\mathbf{L}^T\boldsymbol{\hat\beta}}= \mathbf{L}^T \boldsymbol{\Sigma}_{\boldsymbol{\hat\beta}}\mathbf{L} \]

6 Homework: Adopt the gene analysis on log scale in matrix form!

1. Study the solution of the exercise to understand the analysis in R

2. Calculate

• model parameters and contrasts of interest
• standard errors, standard errors on contrasts
• t-test statistics on the model parameters and contrasts of interest

3. Compare your results with the output of the lm(.) function
