plotPercentBars {variancePartition}R Documentation

Bar plot of variance fractions

Description

Bar plot of variance fractions for a subset of genes

Usage

plotPercentBars(varPart, col = c(ggColorHue(ncol(varPart) - 1),
  "grey85"))

Arguments

varPart

object returned by extractVarPart() or fitExtractVarPartModel()

col

color of bars for each variable

Value

Returns ggplot2 barplot

Examples

# library(variancePartition)

# optional step to run analysis in parallel on multicore machines
# Here, we used 4 threads
library(doParallel)
cl <- makeCluster(4)
registerDoParallel(cl)
# or by using the doSNOW package

# load simulated data:
# geneExpr: matrix of gene expression values
# info: information/metadata about each sample
data(varPartData)

# Specify variables to consider
form <- ~ Age + (1|Individual) + (1|Tissue)

# Fit model
varPart <- fitExtractVarPartModel( geneExpr, form, info )

# Bar plot for a subset of genes showing variance fractions
plotPercentBars( varPart[1:5,] )

# Move the legend to the top
plotPercentBars( varPart[1:5,] ) + theme(legend.position="top")
