JackStrawPlot

JackStraw Plot

Description

Plots the results of the JackStraw analysis for PCA significance. For each PC, plots a QQ-plot comparing the distribution of p-values for all genes across each PC, compared with a uniform distribution. Also determines a p-value for the overall significance of each PC (see Details).

Usage

JackStrawPlot(
  object,
  dims = 1:5,
  cols = NULL,
  reduction = "pca",
  xmax = 0.1,
  ymax = 0.3
)

Arguments

`object`	Seurat object
`dims`	Dims to plot
`cols`	Vector of colors, each color corresponds to an individual PC. This may also be a single character or numeric value corresponding to a palette as specified by `brewer.pal.info`. By default, ggplot2 assigns colors. We also include a number of palettes from the pals package. See `DiscretePalette` for details.
`reduction`	reduction to pull jackstraw info from
`xmax`	X-axis maximum on each QQ plot.
`ymax`	Y-axis maximum on each QQ plot.

Details

Significant PCs should show a p-value distribution (black curve) that is strongly skewed to the left compared to the null distribution (dashed line) The p-value for each PC is based on a proportion test comparing the number of genes with a p-value below a particular threshold (score.thresh), compared with the proportion of genes expected under a uniform distribution of p-values.

Value

A ggplot object
