############################# ## R PROGRAMMING EXERCISES ## ############################# ## Workshop: Programming in R ## May 14, 2011 ########################################## ## (1) Loops: for/while and apply loops ## ########################################## ## Create a sample matrix myMA <- matrix(rnorm(500), 100, 5, dimnames=list(1:100, paste("C", 1:5, sep=""))) ## (1.1) Compute the mean of each row in myMA by applying the mean function in a for loop myve_for <- NULL for(i in seq(along=myMA[,1])) { myve_for <- c(myve_for, mean(as.numeric(myMA[i, ]))) } myResult <- cbind(myMA, mean_for=myve_for) myResult[1:4, ] ## (1.2) Compute the mean of each row in myMA by applying the mean function in a while loop z <- 1 myve_while <- NULL while(z <= length(myMA[,1])) { myve_while <- c(myve_while, mean(as.numeric(myMA[z, ]))) z <- z + 1 } myResult <- cbind(myMA, mean_for=myve_for, mean_while=myve_while) myResult[1:4, ] ## (1.3) How can one confirm that the results from both mean calculations are identical? sum(myResult[,6] != myResult[,7]) ## (1.4) Compute the mean of each row in myMA by applying the mean function in an apply loop myve_apply <- apply(myMA, 1, mean) myResult <- cbind(myMA, mean_for=myve_for, mean_while=myve_while, mean_apply=myve_apply) myResult[1:4, ] ## (1.5) Compute the row means of myMA by taking advantage of the built-in looping behavior ## of the mean() function. This will require the transpose of myMA and its conversion into ## a data frame. mymean <- mean(as.data.frame(t(myMA))) myResult <- cbind(myMA, mean_for=myve_for, mean_while=myve_while, mean_apply=myve_apply, mean_int=mymean) myResult[1:4, ] ## (1.6) How can one confirm that the values from all four mean calculations are identical? ## The unique() and length() functions can be used for this step. myq <- apply(myResult[,6:9], 1, function(x) length(unique(x))) sum(myq != 1) ## (1.7) Replace one mean value in the last column by '0' and repeat the identity check in step (1.6) myResult[1,8] <- 0 myq <- apply(myResult[,6:9], 1, function(x) length(unique(x))) sum(myq != 1) ################### ## (2) Functions ## ################### ## (2.1) Save the above code to a script file named "myMeans.R". Then convert the code to a ## function (myMeans) that returns by default the final data frame from step (1.5) with all ## four mean calculations. To test and debug the function, source your script and then ## execute your myMeans function like this: ## source("myMeans.R") ## myMeans() ## (2.2) Use the following code as basis to implement a function that allows the user ## to compute the mean for any combination of columns in a matrix or data frame. ## One argument of this function should specify the input data set and another should ## allow the selection of the columns by providing a grouping vector (factor). myMA <- matrix(rnorm(100000), 10000, 10, dimnames=list(1:10000, paste("C", 1:10, sep=""))) myList <- tapply(colnames(myMA), c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,4), list) names(myList) <- sapply(myList, paste, collapse="_") myMAmean <- sapply(myList, function(x) apply(myMA[,x], 1, mean)) myMAmean[1:4,] myMAcomp <- function(myMA=myMA, group=c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,4), myfct=mean) { myList <- tapply(colnames(myMA), group, list) names(myList) <- sapply(myList, paste, collapse="_") myMAmean <- sapply(myList, function(x) apply(myMA[,x], 1, myfct)) return(myMAmean) } myMAcomp(myMA=myMA, group=c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,4), myfct=mean)[1:4,] ####################################################### ## (3) Improving Speed Performance by Avoiding Loops ## ####################################################### ## (3.1) Implement a speed improved version of your previous function from step (2.2). ## Use the following code for its implementation. In this code the R loop over the ## data intensive dimension is avoided by using the rowMeans() function. myList <- tapply(colnames(myMA), c(1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,4), list) myMAmean <- sapply(myList, function(x) rowMeans(myMA[,x])) colnames(myMAmean) <- sapply(myList, paste, collapse="_") myMAmean[1:4,] ## (3.2) Compare the speed performance of the implementation from step 2.2 with the ## speed improved version from step (3.1) using the system.time() function. ############################################### ## (4) Looping over lists with lapply/sapply ## ############################################### ## Create a sample list populated with character vectors of different lengths setlist <- lapply(11:30, function(x) sample(letters, x, replace=TRUE)) names(setlist) <- paste("S", seq(along=setlist), sep="") ## (4.1) Compute the length for all pairwise intersects of the vectors stored in 'setlist'. ## The intersects can be determined with the '%in%' function like this: ## sum(setlist[[1]] %in% setlist[[2]]) setlist <- sapply(setlist, unique) olMA <- sapply(names(setlist), function(x) sapply(names(setlist), function(y) sum(setlist[[x]] %in% setlist[[y]]))) olMA ## (4.2) Plot the resulting intersect matrix as heat map ## The heatmap.2() function from the gplots library can be used for this. library("gplots") heatmap.2(olMA, trace="none", Colv="none", Rowv="none", dendrogram="none", col=colorpanel(40, "darkred", "orange", "yellow")) ###################################################################################### ## (5) Batch operations on many files: import, export, calculations, renaming, etc. ## ###################################################################################### ## Follow the instructions of this manual section: ## http://faculty.ucr.edu/~tgirke/Documents/R_BioCond/R_Programming.html ######################################################## ## (6) Basic Utilities for DNA Sequence Manipulations ## ######################################################## ## (6.1) Write a RevComp() function that returns the reverse and complement of a DNA sequence. ## Include an argument that will allow to return only the reversed sequence, the complemented ## sequence or the reversed and complemented sequence.
