Pca

Computes PCA coordinates, loadings and variance decomposition.

Info

ID: pca
Namespace: dimred

Uses the implementation of scikit-learn [Pedregosa11]

Example commands

You can run the pipeline using nextflow run.

View help

You can use --help as a parameter to get an overview of the possible parameters.

nextflow run openpipelines-bio/openpipeline \
  -r 1.0.1 -latest \
  -main-script target/nextflow/dimred/pca/main.nf \
  --help

Argument group

Arguments

Name Description Attributes
--input Input h5mu file file, required, example: "input.h5mu"
--modality string, default: "rna"
--layer Use specified layer for expression values instead of the .X object from the modality. string
--var_input Column name in .var matrix that will be used to select which genes to run the PCA on. string, example: "filter_with_hvg"
--output Output h5mu file. file, required, example: "output.h5mu"
--output_compression The compression format to be used on the output h5mu object. string, example: "gzip"
--obsm_output In which .obsm slot to store the resulting embedding. string, default: "X_pca"
--varm_output In which .varm slot to store the resulting loadings matrix. string, default: "pca_loadings"
--uns_output In which .uns slot to store the resulting variance objects. string, default: "pca_variance"
--num_components Number of principal components to compute. Defaults to 50, or 1 - minimum dimension size of selected representation. integer, example: 25
--overwrite Allow overwriting .obsm, .varm and .uns slots. boolean_true
