Description

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The invention relates to a method and apparatus for identifying components of a system from data generated from the system, which components are capable of exhibiting a response pattern associated with a test condition and, particularly, but no exclusively, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for identifying components of a biological system from data generated from the system, which components are capable of exhibiting a response pattern associated with a test condition.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] There are any number of “systems” in existence for which measurement of components of the system may provide a basis by which to analyse the system. Examples of systems include financial systems (such as stock markets, credit systems for individuals, groups, organisations, loan histories), geological systems, chemical systems, biological systems, and many more. Many of these systems comprise a substantial number of components which generate substantial amounts of data.

[0003] For example, recent advances in the biological sciences have resulted in the development of methods for large scale analysis of biological systems. An example of one such method is use of biotechnology arrays. These arrays are generally ordered high density grids of known biological samples (e.g. DNA, protein, carbohydrate) which may be screened or probed with test samples to obtain information about the relative quantities of individual components in the test sample. Use of biotechnology arrays thus provides potential for analysis of biological and/or chemical systems.

[0004] An example of one type of biotechnology array is DNA microarrays for the analysis of gene expression. A DNA microarray consists of DNA sequences deposited in an ordered array onto a solid support base e.g. a glass slide. As many as 30,000 or more gene sequences may be deposited onto a single microarray chip. The arrays are hybridised with labelled RNA extracted from cells or tissue of interest, or cDNA synthesised from the extracted RNA, to determine the relative amounts of the RNA expression for each gene in the cell or tissue. The technique therefore provides a method of determining the relative expression levels of many genes in a particular cell or tissue. The method also has the potential to allow for the identification of genes that are expressed in a particular way, or in other words, have a particular response pattern in different cell types, or in the same cell type under different treatment or test conditions.

[0005] The ability to identify such genes would be useful, for example, in establishing diagnostic tests to distinguish between different cell types, to determine optimum conditions for expression of desired genes, or in assessing efficacy of drugs for targeting expression of particular genes.

[0006] A significant problem with the analysis of data generated from systems such as biotechnology arrays, however, is that response patterns in the data are often difficult to identify due to one or more of the following:

[0007] (a) the difficulty in manipulating large amounts of data generated by these types of methods or experiments;

[0008] (b) the inherent variation in the data;

[0009] (c) errors in the method which results in missing data (for example, areas on a biotechnology array from which data is missing).

[0010] The inventors have developed a method for analysis of data generated from systems which preferably permits identification of components of the system which exhibit a response pattern under a test condition.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] In a first aspect, the invention provides a method for identifying components of a system from data generated from the system, which components exhibit a response pattern associated with a test condition applied to the system, comprising the steps of:

[0012] (a) specifying design factors to specify the type of response pattern for the test condition;

[0013] (b) identifying a linear combination of components from the input data which correlate with the response pattern.

[0014] Preferably, the method includes the step of defining a matrix of design factors.

[0015] The inventors have developed a method whereby linear combinations of components from a system can be computed from large amounts of data whereby the linear combination of components fits or correlates with a specified response pattern. Thus, using this method, specific patterns in the data can be searched for and components exhibiting this pattern identified. This facilitates rapid screening of the data from a system for significant components.

[0016] The linear combination of components is preferably of the form:

y=a 1 X 1 +a 2 X 2 +a 3 X 3 . . . a n X n

[0017] Wherein y is the linear combination a1-an are component weights and X1-Xn are data values generated from the method applied to the system for components of the system.

[0018] Preferably, a linear combination of components is chosen such that a linear regression of the linear combination of components on the design factors has as much predictive power as possible. The component weights are assessed in a manner such that the values of the component weights for components which do not correlate with the design factors are eliminated from the linear combination.

[0019] The method of the present invention has the advantage that it requires usage of less computer memory than prior art methods. Accordingly, the method of the present invention can preferably be performed rapidly on computers such as, for example, laptop machines. By using less memory, the method of the present invention also allows the method to be performed more quickly than prior art methods for analysis of, for example, biological data.

[0020] The method of the present invention is suitable for use in the analysis of any system in which components which exhibit a response pattern are sought. Suitable systems include, for example, chemical systems, biological systems, geological systems, process monitoring systems and financial systems including, for example, credit systems, insurance systems, marketing systems or company record systems.

[0021] The method of the present invention is particularly suitable for use in the analysis of results obtained from methods applied to biological systems.

[0022] The data from the system is preferably generated from methods applied to the system. For example, the data may be a measure of a quantity of the components of the system, the presence of components in a system, or any other quantifiable feature of the components of a system.

[0023] The data may be generated using any methods for measuring the components of a system. The data may be generated from, for example, biotechnology array analysis such as DNA array analysis, DNA microarray analysis (see for example, Schena et al., 1995, Science 270: 467-470; Lockhart et al. 1996, Nature Biotechnology 14: 1649; U.S. Pat. No. 5,569,588), RNA array analysis, RNA microarray analysis, DNA microchip analysis, RNA microchip analysis, protein microchip analysis, carbohydrate analysis, antibody array analysis, or analysis such as DNA electrophoresis, RNA electrophoresis, one dimensional or two dimensional protein electrophoresis, proteomics.

[0024] The components of the method of the present invention are the components of the system that are being measured. The components may be any measurable component of the system. The components may be, for example, genes, proteins, antibodies, carbohydrates. The components may be measured using methods for detecting the amount of, for example, genes or portions thereof, DNA sequences such as oligonucleotides or cDNA, RNA sequences, peptides, proteins, carbohydrate molecules or any other molecules that form part of the biological system. For example, in a DNA microarray, the component may be a gene or gene fragment. In an antibody array, the component may be a monoclonal antibody, polyclonal antibody, Fab fragment, or any other molecule that contains an antigen binding site of an antibody molecule.

[0025] It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that, the components need not be known, but merely identifiable in a manner to permit a correlation to be made between a linear combination of the components and the design matrix. For example, each components may have a unique identifier such as an arbitrarily selected number or name.

[0026] The response pattern specified by the design factors may be any desired pattern. In one embodiment, the response pattern specified by the design factors is derived from known data. Thus, a response pattern derived from known data will identify response patterns that are significantly similar to a known response pattern. For example, a matrix of design factors may be provided for gene expression that correlates with a known gene expression pattern. For example, a particular expression pattern of a particular yeast gene over a particular growth period.

[0027] In another embodiment, the response pattern specified by the design factors is derived from the input array data. In this case, a response pattern derived from the input array data will group components of the array which exhibit significantly similar response patterns.

[0028] In yet another embodiment, the response pattern specified by the design factors is selected to identify any arbitrary response pattern.

[0029] The test conditions of the method of the invention may be any test conditions applied to a system. For example, in the case of a biological system, the test condition may be the growth conditions (such as temperature, time, growth medium, exposure to one or more test compounds) applied to an organism prior to measurement of the components of the system, the phenotype(such as a tumour cell, benign cell, advanced tumour cell, early tumour cell, normal cell, mutant cell, cell from a particular tissue or location)of an organism prior to measurement of the components of the system.

[0030] As discussed above, to identify a linear combination of components from input data, let yT=aTX whereby y is a linear combination in which X is an input data matrix of data, preferably array data, having n rows of components and k columns of test conditions, and a is a matrix of values or weights to be applied to the input data. The significance of regression co-efficients of y on a matrix of design factors T may be determined by the ratio: 1$\begin{array}{cc}\lambda =\frac{\left(y^T\mathrm{Py}\right)/r}{y^T\left(I-P\right)y/\left(n-r\right)}& 1\end{array}$

[0031] Wherein

[0032] P=T(TTT)−1TT; and

[0033] T is a kxr design matrix;

[0034] whereby values of a are selected to maximise λ.

[0035] Substituting aTX for y in equation 1 and ignoring the constant divisors provides the following equation: 2$\begin{array}{cc}\lambda =\frac{a^T{\mathrm{XPX}}^{T}a}{a^{T}X\left(I-P\right)X^{T}a}& 2\end{array}$

[0036] Thus, a linear combination of components ã may be computed by finding the maximum value of λ in equation 2. However, there are linear combinations (ã) for which the denominator of equation 2 is zero and therefore λ is infinite. Thus, in one embodiment, the present invention provides algorithms for determining a whereby aTX(I−P)XTa is not zero.

[0037] In one embodiment, the linear combination is computed by solving the generalised eigenvalue problem of:

(XPXT−λX(I−P)XT)ã=0  3

[0038] for λ and ã

[0039] wherein X is a data matrix having n rows of components and k columns of test conditions and

[0040] P=T(TTT)−1TT wherein T is a matrix of k rows of design factors and r columns.

[0041] Equation 3 may be solved by the following algorithm:

[0042] Let B=XPXT and W=X(I−P)XT

[0043] Then to maximise the ratio (equation 2) in the case that W is non-singular we would solve

(B−λW)ã=0  4

[0044] One approach for doing this is to rewrite equation 4 as 3$\begin{array}{cc}(\begin{array}{cc}{W}^{\frac{1}{2}}{\mathrm{BW}}^{\frac{1}{2}}-\lambda I)W^{\frac{1}{2}}a=0& \end{array}& 5\end{array}$

[0045] and solve this eigen equation.

[0046] If 4$W^{\frac{1}{2}}$

[0047] in equation 5 is replaced in the singular case by 5$\begin{array}{cc}{W}^{\frac{1}{2}}=U\left[\begin{array}{cc}{\Delta }_1^{\frac{1}{2}}& 0\\ 0& 0\end{array}\right]U^T& 6\end{array}$

[0048] where Δ1 is the diagonal matrix of ‘non zero’ eigen values of W it is easy to see that equation 5 becomes 6$\begin{array}{cc}\left(\left[\begin{array}{cc}{\Delta }_1^{\frac{1}{2}}{U}_1^T{\mathrm{BU}}_1{{\Delta }_1}^{\frac{1}{2}}& 0\\ 0& 0\end{array}\right]-\lambda I\right)\left[\frac{{\Delta }_1^{\frac{1}{2}}{U}_1^T\underset{\_}{a}}{0}\right]=0& 7\end{array}$

[0049] where U=[U1U2] is partitioned conformable with Δ1. Maximising equation 2 subject to a=U1ã (i.e a is constrained to be in the range space of W) gives rise to the eigen equation defined by the top left hand block of the lefthand side of equation 7.

[0050] Equation 4 may be solved directly without requiring calculation of XPXT or X(I−P)XT using the generalised singular value decomposition, see Golub and Van Loan (1989), Matrix Computations, 2nd Ed. Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore.

[0051] Alternatively, X(I−P)XT in equation 3 may be replaced with X(I−P)XT+σ2I. Thus, in another embodiment, the linear combination may be identified by solving the equation:

(XPXT−λX(I−P)XT+σ2I)ã=0 for λ and a  8

[0052] wherein X is a data matrix having n rows of components and k columns of test conditions; and

[0053] P=T(TTT)−1TT wherein T is a matrix of k rows of design factors and r columns and a is a weight matrix for the linear combination yT=ãTX.

[0054] In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a method for identifying components of a system from data generated from the system, which exhibit a response pattern associated with a set of test conditions applied to the system, comprising the steps of:

[0055] (a) specifying design factors to specify the type of response patterns for the test conditions;

[0056] (b) formulating a model for the residuals of a regression of the input data on the design factors;

[0057] (c) estimating parameters for the model;

[0058] (d) computing a linear combination of components using the model and its estimated parameters.

[0059] Preferably, the method includes the step of defining a matrix of design factors.

[0060] Preferably, the system is a biological system. Preferably, the data generated from a method applied to the system is generated from a biotechnology array.

[0061] The inventors have found that the denominator of equation 2 may be replaced with the quantity aTVa wherein V is the covariance matrix of the residuals from the regression model. Thus in one embodiment, the linear combination may be computed by maximising the ratio: 7$\begin{array}{cc}\lambda =\frac{a^T{\mathrm{XPX}}^{T}a}{a^T\mathrm{Va}}& 9\end{array}$

[0062] Equation 9 may be used to give the following optimal a:

a=λ−1/2XPu  10

[0063] wherein a is a weight matrix for the linear combination

[0064] y=aTX,

[0065] P=T(TTT)−1TT,

[0066] u is an eigenvector of P(XV−1XT)P or equivalently a left singular vector of V−1/2XP;

[0067] and X is an nxk data matrix from data generated from a method applied to the system, the data being from n components and k test conditions.

[0068] This approach has the advantage that the method of the invention does not require storage of matrices larger than nxk. Thus, an advantage of the method of the invention is that it permits analysis of data obtained from large numbers of components or large amounts of components and test conditions.

[0069] In a preferred embodiment, the covariance matrix V is replaced by its maximum likelihood estimator. Maximum likelihood estimates are obtained from a model for the microarray data. In this preferred embodiment, the data are modelled by a normal distribution, which is completely specified by the mean and variance.

[0070] The model of the method of the present invention may comprise a mean model and a variance model. The mean model may be defined by the equation:

E{XT}=TBT

[0071] wherein X is an nxk matrix of data, preferably array data, having n rows of components and k columns of test conditions, T is a kxr matrix of design factors having k rows and r columns and B is an nxr matrix of regression parameters.

[0072] The variance model may be defined by the equation:

V ar{vec{XT}}=Ik{circle over (x)}V  12

[0073] where V is a covariance matrix:

V=ΛΦΛ T +σ2I,Λnxs

[0074] with constraints

Φsxs diagonal and ΛTΛ=I.

[0075] The variance model and mean model together determine the likelihood. From (11) and (12) we may write twice the negative log likelihood as:

L=k log|V|+tr{(X1−TB1)V−1(X−BT1)}  13

[0076] The parameters to be estimated in the model include Λ, Φ, σ2 and the regression coefficient B. In one embodiment, an estimate of regression coefficients B for the mean model is computed using standard least squares:

{circumflex over (B)}=XTT(TTT)−1

[0077] Substituting into Equation 13 we obtain the likelihood of V conditional on B={circumflex over (B)}:

L=L ({circumflex over (B)})=klog|V|+tr{V−1RRT}

where R=X−{circumflex over (B)}TT

[0078] In one embodiment, the parameters for the covariance matrix are estimated by computing the maximum likelihood estimates (MLE) for the covariance matrix, conditional on the regression parameters. The covariance matrix of the variance model may be defined by the equation:

V=ΛΦΛ T +σ2I  14

[0079] To find the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE) of the parameters of V, we proceed as follows: 8$\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{From}V={\mathrm{\Lambda \Phi \Lambda }}^T+{\sigma }^{2}I\mathrm{we}\mathrm{get}& \\ V={\left[{\mathrm{\Lambda \Lambda }}^{*}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}\Phi +{\sigma }^2{I}_s& 0\\ 0& {\sigma }^2{I}_{n-s}\end{array}\right]\left[{\mathrm{\Lambda \Lambda }}^{*}\right]}^T& 15\end{array}$

[0080] where Λ* is an orthonormal completion of Λ. It may be shown that 9$\begin{array}{cc}{V}^{-1}={\left[{\mathrm{\Lambda \Lambda }}^{*}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}{\left(\Phi +{\sigma }^2{I}_s\right)}^{-1}& 0\\ 0& {\sigma }^{-2}{I}_{n-s}\end{array}\right]\left[{\mathrm{\Lambda \Lambda }}^{*}\right]}^T={\Lambda \left(\Phi +{\sigma }^2{I}_s\right)}^{-1}\Lambda +{\sigma }^2\left(I-{\mathrm{\Lambda \Lambda }}^T\right).& 16\end{array}$

[0081] Hence: 10$\begin{array}{cc}\&LeftBracketingBar;V\&RightBracketingBar;=\&LeftBracketingBar;\Phi +{\sigma }^2{I}_s\&RightBracketingBar;{\left({\sigma }^2\right)}^{n-s}& \\ =\prod _{i=1}^s\left({\Phi }_{\mathrm{ii}}+{\sigma }^2\right){\left({\sigma }^2\right)}^{n-s}& \\ \mathrm{so}& \\ k\log \&LeftBracketingBar;V\&RightBracketingBar;=k\left\{\sum _{i=1}^s\log \left({\Phi }_{\mathrm{ii}}+{\sigma }^2\right)+\left(n-s\right)\log {\sigma }^2\right\}& 17\end{array}$

[0082] Further, we may write:

tr{V −1 RR T }=tr {(Φ+σ2Is)−1ΛTRRTΛ}+σ−2tr{RRT−ΛTRRTΛ}  18

[0083] Combining equation 17 and equation 18, the log likelihood function for Λ, Φ and σ2 conditional on B may be obtained. We proceed to maximise this as a function of A subject to the constraint ΛTΛ=I. Forming the Lagrangian and differentiating this with respect to Λ we obtain the equation ∂L/∂Λ=0 where 11$\begin{array}{cc}\frac{\partial L}{\partial \Lambda }=\frac{\partial }{\partial \Lambda }\mathrm{tr}\left\{\left[{\left(\Phi +{\sigma }^2{I}_s\right)}^{-1}-{\sigma }^{-2}{I}_s\right]{\Lambda }^T{\mathrm{RR}}^T\Lambda \right\}+\mathrm{tr}\left\{L\left({\Lambda }^T\Lambda -I\right)\right\}& 19\end{array}$

[0084] and L is a lower triangular matrix of Lagrange multipliers. Evaluating this and incorporating the constraint gives

RR T ΛD+ΛL T =0

with ΛTΛ=I

[0085] The first equation can be written as

RR T Λ+ΛL T D −1 =0  20

[0086] where D=(Φ+σ2Is)−1−σ−2Is. Note that D is invertible provided all Φii>0.

[0087] In one embodiment, the maximum likelihood estimate of σ is computed from the equation: 12$\begin{array}{cc}{\hat{\sigma }}^2=\frac{1}{k\left(n-s\right)}\left\{\mathrm{tr}\left\{{\mathrm{RR}}^T\right\}-\sum _{i=1}^s{\delta }_{\mathrm{ii}}\right\}& 21\end{array}$

[0088] wherein s is the number of latent factors in the variance model.

[0089] In one embodiment, the maximum likelihood estimate of Φ is computed from the equation:

{circumflex over (Φ)}ii+{circumflex over (σ)}2=δii/k  22

[0090] In one embodiment, δ is defined by the equation:

δii=(ΛiTRRTΛi)  23

[0091] wherein δii is the ith eigenvalue of RRT.

[0092] Equations 13$\begin{array}{cc}{\hat{\sigma }}^2=\frac{1}{k\left(n-s\right)}\left\{\mathrm{tr}\left\{{\mathrm{RR}}^T\right\}-\sum _{i=1}^s{\delta }_{\mathrm{ii}}\right\},& \left(21\right)\end{array}$

[0093] {circumflex over (Φ)}ii+{circumflex over (σ)}2=δii/k (22), and δii=(ΛiTRRTΛi) (23) are derived as follows:

[0094] Premultiplying RRTΛD+ΛLT=0 by ΛT and using ΛTΛ=I shows that L is symmetric and hence diagonal. It follows that the columns of A are eigenvectors of RRT.

[0095] Similarly we obtain 14$\frac{\partial L}{\partial {\Phi }_{\mathrm{ii}}}=\frac{k}{\left({\Phi }_{\mathrm{ii}}+{\sigma }^2\right)}-\frac{{\delta }_{\mathrm{ii}}}{{\left({\Phi }_{\mathrm{ii}}+{\sigma }^2\right)}^2}$$\frac{\partial L}{\partial {\sigma }^2}=\sum _{i=1}^s\frac{k}{\left({\Phi }_{\mathrm{ii}}+{\sigma }^2\right)}+\frac{k\left(n-s\right)}{{\sigma }^2}-\sum _{i=1}^s\frac{{\delta }_{\mathrm{ii}}}{{\left({\Phi }_{\mathrm{ii}}+{\sigma }^2\right)}^2}-\frac{1}{{\left({\sigma }^2\right)}^2}\left\{\mathrm{tr}\left\{{\mathrm{RR}}^T\right\}-\sum _{i=1}^s{\delta }_{\mathrm{ii}}\right\}$

[0096] where δii=(ΛiTRRTΛi) is the ith eigenvalue of RRT.

[0097] It follows that 15${\hat{\Phi }}_{\mathrm{ii}}+{\hat{\sigma }}^2={\delta }_{\mathrm{ii}}/k$${\hat{\sigma }}^2=\frac{1}{k\left(n-s\right)}\left\{\mathrm{tr}\left\{{\mathrm{RR}}^T\right\}-\sum _{i=1}^s{\delta }_{\mathrm{ii}}\right\}$

[0098] The number of latent factors in the model for the covariance matrix may be estimated by performing likelihood ratio tests, cross validation tests or Bayesian procedures. In one embodiment, the number of factors in the variance model is determined by performing a series of likelihood ratio tests, for increasing numbers of factors. The number of factors is chosen such that the test for further increase in the number of factors is not statistically significant. The likelihood ratio test statistic is computed using the equation: 16$\begin{array}{cc}-2\log L=k\left\{\sum _{i=1}^s\log \left({\delta }_{\mathrm{ii}}/k\right)+\left(n-s\right)\log \left\{\sum _{s+1}^t{\delta }_{\mathrm{ii}}/\left(k\left(n-s\right)\right)\right\}\right\}+\mathrm{kn}& 24\end{array}$

[0099] and the number of parameters is ns+s+1−s(s+1)/2.

[0100] In a preferred embodiment, the number of factors, s, in the variance model is determined by performing a Bayesian method, preferably based on a method for selecting the number of principle components given in Minka T. P. 2000, Automatic choice of dimensionality for PCA, MIT Media Laboratory Perceptual Computing Section Technical Report No. 514 (Minka (2000)). We note that the problem of choosing basis functions in the factor analysis model i.e. the number of left singular vectors in an singular value decomposition (SVD) of the residual matrix to include can be thought of as the problem of selecting the number of right singular vectors or principal components. Writing λi for the eigenvalues of RTR, in Minka(2000) the number of principal components is chosen to maximise 17$\log P\left(R❘s\right)=\log P\left(u\right)-0.5n\sum _{j=1}^s\log \left({\lambda }_j\right)-0.5n\left(k-s\right)\log \left(v\right)+0.5\left(m+s\right)\log \left(2\pi \right)-0.5\log \det \left(A_z\right)-0.5s\log \left(n\right)$

[0101] where m=ks−s(s+1)/2, 18$\log P\left(u\right)=-s\log \left(2\right)+\sum _{i=1}^s\log \left(\Gamma \left(\left(k-i+1\right)/2\right)\right)-0.5\left(k-i+1\right)\log \left(\pi \right)$$v=\left(\sum _{j=s+1}^k{\lambda }_j\right)/\left(k-s\right)$$\mathrm{and}$$\log \det \left(A_z\right)=\sum _{i=1}^s\sum _{j=i+1}^k\log \left(\left({\hat{\lambda }}_j^{-1}-{\hat{\lambda }}_i^{-1}\right)\left({\lambda }_i-{\lambda }_j\right)n\right)$$\mathrm{where}$${\hat{\lambda }}_j=\{\begin{array}{c}{\lambda }_j,\mathrm{for}j\le k\\ v,\mathrm{otherwise}.\end{array}$

[0102] More reliable results are obtained using the Bayesian approach if it is used on a subset of the genes, chosen to show high correlation with the response pattern specified by the design factors.

[0103] The present invention also provides a means to determine the shape of the relationship between the linear combination of components and the response pattern specified by the design factors. The inner product of the linear combinations with the data matrix results ih a loading for each array. These loadings may be plotted against the columns of the design factors to reveal the shape of the response.

[0104] The present invention also provides for testing the significance of the components of a linear combination, and/or the overall strength of the relationship between the linear combination and the design factors. In one embodiment, the method comprises the further steps of:

[0105] (a) determining the significanceof each weight of the linear combination; and

[0106] (b) setting non-significant weights to zero.

[0107] In a preferred embodiment, the significance of the weights of the linear combination is determined by a permutation test comprising the steps of:

[0108] (a) randomising the data, preferably biotechnology array data, within each row;

[0109] (b) Computing the weights and eigenvalues from the randomised data;

[0110] (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) a plurality of times; and

[0111] (d) determining a distribution for the weights and eigenvalues computed from the randomised data;

[0112] (e) determining the position of weights and eigenvalues computed from non-randomised data, preferably biotechnology array data, relative to the distribution of the weights and eigenvalues computed from randomised data;

[0113] (f) estimating the significance of each weight computed from the non-randomised data.

[0114] In a preferred embodiment, the significance of the relationship between the linear combinations of components and the response pattern specified by the design factors may be determined in an analogous way. For each randomisation step (a) above, the loadings are formed as inner products of the linear combinations with the data matrix. The multiple correlation between these loadings and the response pattern specified by the design factors is calculated. The significance of the overall relationship is evaluated by determining the position of the multiple correlation coefficient from non-randomised data with the distribution of the multiple correlation coefficient calculated from randomised data.

[0115] The present invention also provides methods for estimating missing values from the data. In one embodiment, missing values are estimated using an EM algorithm. In a preferred embodiment, the method comprises estimating missing data values of array data by:

[0116] (a) estimating initial values of B, Γ, Φ, σ2 by replacing missing values with simple estimates and calculating maximum likelihood estimates assuming the data was complete;

[0117] (b) Computing E{X|o1, . . . ok}, E{RRT|o1, . . . ok} the expected values of the data array and the residual matrix under the model given the observed data (where oi is defined below);

[0118] (c) Substitute quantities for (b) into likelihood equations assuming complete data to obtain new estimates of B, Γ, φ and σ2;

[0119] (d) Repeat steps (b) to (d) until convergence.

[0120] In one embodiment, the EM algorithm is performed as follows:

[0121] From equations 18 and 20:

R=X−BT T ,V=ΛΦΛ T +σ2I

[0122] For the ith column of R, Ri say, we can partition Ri as 19$\begin{array}{cc}{R}_i=\left[\begin{array}{c}{o}_i\\ u_i\end{array}\right],V=\left[\begin{array}{cc}{V}_{\mathrm{oo}}& V_{\mathrm{ou}}\\ V_{\mathrm{uo}}& V_{\mathrm{uu}}\end{array}\right],V^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}{V}^{\mathrm{oo}}& V^{\mathrm{ou}}\\ V^{\mathrm{ou}}& V^{\mathrm{uu}}\end{array}\right]& 25\end{array}$

[0123] where oi denotes the observed residual component and ui denotes the missing residual component. To do the E step of the EM algorithm we need to compute the expected values

E{Ri|oi} and E{RiRiT|oi}  36

[0124] Note that we are also conditioning on a set of parameter values, B, Λ, Φ and σ2, however for easy of presentation we do not represent this in the following.

[0125] It can be shown that 20$\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{c}E\left\{u_i❘o_i\right\}={V_{u0}\left(V_{00}\right)}^{-1}{o}_i\\ =-{\left(V^{\mathrm{uu}}\right)}^{-1}{V}^{\mathrm{uo}}{o}_i\\ ={\mathrm{Co}}_i\left(\mathrm{say}\right)\end{array}\mathrm{Hence}E\left\{R_i❘o_i\right\}=\left[\begin{array}{c}I\\ C\end{array}\right]o_i& 27\end{array}$

[0126] From the definition of R we obtain 21$\begin{array}{cc}E\left(X_i❘o_i\right)=\left[\begin{array}{c}I\\ C\end{array}\right]o_i+{\mathrm{BT}}^T{e}_i& 28\end{array}$

[0127] where ei is a kxl vector with zeros except in the ith position which is a one.

[0128] Now writing Vuu for Vuiui we have

[0129] Let 22$\begin{array}{cc}\begin{array}{c}E\left\{R_i{R}_i^T❘o_i\right\}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}I& 0\\ C& I\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}{o}_i{o}_i^T& 0\\ 0& {\left(V^{\mathrm{uu}}\right)}^{-1}\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc}I& C^T\\ 0& I\end{array}\right]\\ =\left[\begin{array}{c}I\\ C\end{array}\right]o_i{o}_i^T\left[{\mathrm{IC}}^T\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}0& 0\\ 0& {\left(V^{\mathrm{uu}}\right)}^{-1}\end{array}\right]\\ =R_i^{*}{R}_i^T+\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\ L_i\end{array}\right]\left[0L_i^T\right]\end{array}\mathrm{Where}{\left(V^{\mathrm{uu}}\right)}^{-1}=L_i{L}_i^T.& 29\end{array}$

[0130] It follows that 23$\begin{array}{cc}E\left[{\mathrm{RR}}^T❘o_i\dots o_k\right]=\sum _{i=1}^k{R}_i^{*}{R}_i^T+\sum _{i=1}^k{S}_i{S}_i^T& 30\end{array}$

[0131] where 24$S_i=P_i^T\left[\begin{array}{c}0\\ L_i\end{array}\right]$

[0132] is nxmi. Here mi is the number of missing values in column i and Pi is a permutation matrix with the property that 25$P_i{R}_i=\left[\begin{array}{c}{o}_i\\ u_i\end{array}\right].$26$\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{Define}& \\ m=\sum _i{m}_i\mathrm{and}\hat{R}=\left[R_1^{*}{\mathrm{\dots R}}_k^{*}{\mathrm{\dots ⋮S}}_1{\mathrm{\dots S}}_k\right],\mathrm{nx}\left(k+m\right)\mathrm{then}E\left\{{\mathrm{RR}}^T❘o_i,\dots o_k\right\}=\hat{R}{\hat{R}}^T& 31\end{array}$

[0133] A similar expression also follows from writing 27$\begin{array}{cc}\sum _i\left[\begin{array}{cc}0& 0\\ 0& {\left(V^{u_i{u}_i}\right)}^{-1}\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0& 0\\ 0& D\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0& 0\\ 0& {\mathrm{LL}}^T\end{array}\right]& 32\end{array}$

[0134] This requires only 1 (larger) matrix factorisation and the dimension of D may be much less than m if common genes are missing (across columns of X).

[0135] The above expressions enable the computation of maximum likelihood estimates by using the SVD of R, thus saving on storage requirements.

[0136] From equations 35 and 36 it can be seen that the matrix inversion (Vuu)−1 is required. This may be a large matrix if there are many missing values in a column of R. In such cases we note the following:

V uu =Λu(Φs+σ2Is)−1ΛuT+σ−2(I−ΛuΛuT)  33

[0137] where Λu denotes an appropriate subset of rows of Λ (Λu is mxs).

[0138] Vuu can be rewritten as

Λu{(Φs+σ2Is)−1−σ2Is}ΛuT+σ−2I  34

[0139] Hence using the formula

(A+BDBT)−1=A−1−A−1B(BTA−1B+D−1)−1BTA−1  35

[0140] it can be shown that

(Vuu)−1=σ2I−σ2Λu(σ2ΛuTΛu+{(Φs+σ2Is)−1−σ−2Is}−1 )−1Λuσ2  36

[0141] Note that this only requires the inverse of an s×s matrix where s is the number of basis functions in the variance model and is independent of m.

[0142] The EM algorithm discussed above requires the factorisation of the matrices Vuu which may be reasonably large if there are substantial numbers of missing values. An alternative algorithm which does not require this is as follows: 28$\begin{array}{cc}\mathrm{Write}& \\ R_i=X_i-{\mathrm{BT}}^T{e}_i\mathrm{and}{R}_i=\left[\begin{array}{c}{o}_i\\ u_i\end{array}\right]\mathrm{for}i=1,\dots ,k.& 37\end{array}$

[0143] Then assuming normality, we can write the log likelihood of the data as: 29$\begin{array}{cc}L=\log L=\sum _{i=1}^k\log f\left(u_i❘o_i\theta \right)+\log g\left(o_i❘o_i\theta \right)& 38\end{array}$

[0144] where f is the conditional normally density function of ui given oi and g is the marginal density function of oi. The vector of parameters θ is B, Λ, φ and σ2.

[0145] Now writing L=L(u1, u2, . . . , uk, σ), an iterative algorithm can be specified for maximising equation 45 as follows:

[0146] (a) Specify initial values θo

[0147] (b) For iteration n>0 maximise L as a function of u1, . . . , uk. From the form of 45 we can do this independently for each ui and since logf (ui|oi, θn) is a (conditional) normal distribution the maximum occurs at ûi(n)=E{ui|ol, θn}. This of course is a calculation done in the E step of the original E-M algorithm.

[0148] (c) With ui=ûi(n) for i=1, . . . ,k maximise 45 as a function of θ ignoring the dependence of ui on θ (i.e treating the ui as now fixed) to produce θn+1

[0149] (d) Go to 2 until some stopping criteria is satisfied.

[0150] The above algorithm preferably produces a sequence with the property that for n≧0

L(ũ(n+1), θn+1)≧L(ũ(n), θn)  39

where ũ(n)=(ui(n), . . . , uk(n)).

[0151] Step (c) of the algorithm corresponds to ignoring the Vuu terms in the calculation of E{RRT|σ1, . . . , ok} of the EM algorithm, and then doing the M step of the EM algorithm. (Note that the estimation of B can be done independently of the other parameters in θ.)

[0152] We can completely remove the need to calculate (Vuu)−1 in step (b) of the above algorithm by noting that we can use a cyclic ascent algorithm to maximise log f(ui|oi, θ) as follows:

[0153] Let the components of ui be (uji, j=1, . . . mi)

[0154] Maximising over uii (say) with u-li=(uji, j≠1) fixed, corresponds to computing E{uli|u-li, oi, θ}

[0155] To see this write:

logf(ui|oiθ)=logf(uli|u-li, oi, θ)+logh(u-li|oi, θ)  40

[0156] where h is a conditional normal density. Now note that the first term in equation 15 has a maximum at E{uli|u-li, oi, θ} and this can be computed purely from the elements of V−1 given earlier.

[0157] Iterating over l=1 . . . , mi will produce the (unique) maximum of logf(ui|oi, θ) namely E{ui|oi, θ}.

[0158] This method requires only one matrix factorisation and therefore reduces storage requirements. In a preferred embodiment, the missing values are estimated at the same time that parameters for the model are estimated.

EXAMPLES

Example 1

[0178] The data set for this example is the results from a DNA microarray experiment and is reported in Spellman, P. and Sherlock, G., et al. (1998) Comprehensive identification of cell cycle-regulated genes of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae by Microarray Hybridization. Mol. Biol. Cell 9(12):3273-3297.

[0179] The data set generated from the microarray experiments described in the above paper can be obtained from the following web site:

[0180] http://genome-www4.stnford.edu/MicroArray/SMD/publications.html

[0181] The array data consists of n=2467 genes and k=18 samples (times). The matrix of design facors T (design matrix) has r=6 columns defined by the terms cos(lθ), sin(lθ) for l=1 . . . 3 and θ=(7 mπ)/119, m=0, 1, . . . , 17.

[0182] This example illustrates how the method of the present invention can be used to discover sets of genes which exhibit periodic variation within the cell cycle. For this data set, the pattern of periodic variation is a by product of the analysis given the choice of the matrix of design factors T. A search for a priori response pattern could also be specified by choosing r=1 and placing the appropriate pattern in the single column of the design matrix. For this data set we have six canonical vectors a. Note that a=λ−1/2XPu where u is the design factor and a denotes the scores. Two basis functions were used in the factor analysis model. Results for the first three canonicalvariates are given below. The design factor axis is time. Each component has a calculated p value which is highly significant. A list of genes forming a group with a similar pattern of variation over time is given below for the first three canonical vectors. The size of this group can be varied by choosing the significance level applied to the scores (the level here was set at 0.001). Group sizes will tend to be smaller for smaller significance levels.

[0183] The results for each canonical vector might be interpreted as implying a similar pattern of variation for each of the three groups but with a phase shift for each group. The low to low cycle period is of the order of 70 minutes which agrees with the results in the paper.

[0184] The genes identified are shown below. Results of the gene expression from these genes is shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3.

[0187] The data set for this example is the results from a DNA microarray experiment and is reported in

[0188] Alizadeh, A. A., et al. (2000) Distinct types of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma identified by gene expression profiling. Nature 403:503-511.

[0189] The data set generated from the microarray experiments described in the above paper can be obtained from the following web site:

[0190] http://genome-www4.stnford.edu/MicroArray/SMD/publications.html

[0191] There are n=4026 genes and n=36 samples. In the following DLBCL refers to “Diffuse large B cell Lymphoma”. The samples have been classified into two disease types GC B-like DLBCL (21 samples) and Activated B-like DLBCL (15 samples). The design matrix T has 1 column with values −1 if the sample is in group 2 and +1 if the sample is in group 1. This array data is used to illustrate the potential use of the method of the present invention in discovering genes which are diagnostic of different disease types.

[0192] The results of applying the above methodology are given below along with a (partial) list of potentially diagnostic genes. FIG. 4 shows factor loadings calculated for each array, with a Box plot showing the distribution of factor loadings from each disease type. Note the distinct factor loadings for each grouping in the plot.

[0193] The genes identified are shown below. Results of the gene expression from these genes is shown in FIG. 4.

[0199] The genes identified are shown below. Results of the gene expression from these genes is shown in FIGS. 5, 6 and 7.

Example 4

[0203] The data set for this example is listed in Table 2 and is an extract of the data set described in Alizadeh, A. A., et al. (2000) Distinct types of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma identified by gene expression profiling. Nature 403:503-511.

[0204] The data set generated from the microarray experiments described in the above paper can be obtained from the following web site:

[0205] http://genome-www4.stnford.edu/MicroArray/SMD/publications.html

[0206] There are n=100 genes and n=42 samples. In the following DLBCL refers to “Diffuse large B cell Lymphoma”. The samples have been classified into two disease types GC B-like DLBCL (21 samples) and Activated B-like DLBCL (21 samples). The design matrix T has 1 column with values −1 if the sample is in group 2 and +1 if the sample is in group 1. This array data is used to illustrate the potential use of the method of the present invention in discovering genes which are diagnostic of different disease types.

[0207] The results of applying the above methodology are given below along with a (partial) list of potentially diagnostic genes. The plot shows factor loadings calculated for each array, with a Box plot showing the distribution of factor loadings from each disease type. Note the distinct factor loadings for each grouping in the plot.

[0208] The genes identified are shown below. Results of the gene expression from these genes is shown in FIG. 8.
