groupCorrelation

Short Description

The sm.pl.groupCorrelation function calculates and visualizes the correlation between group abundances across various conditions within an AnnData object. Customizable features such as normalization, hierarchical clustering, and manual ordering are available.

Function

groupCorrelation(adata, groupBy, condition, normalize=False, subsetGroups=None, orderRow=None, orderColumn=None, clusterRows=True, clusterColumns=True, cmap='vlag', figsize=None, overlayValues=False, fontSize=10, fontColor='black', fileName='groupCorrelation.pdf', saveDir=None, **kwargs)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
adata	AnnData or str	An AnnData object containing the dataset, or a string path to an AnnData file to be loaded.	required
groupBy	str	The column in adata.obs used for defining groups.	required
condition	str	The column in adata.obs that distinguishes different conditions or samples.	required
normalize	bool	If True, apply z-score normalization to the group counts across conditions.	False
subsetGroups	list of str	A list specifying a subset of groups to include in the analysis. If None, all groups are included.	None
orderRow	list of str	Custom order for the rows in the heatmap. If None, the order is determined by clustering or the original group order.	None
orderColumn	list of str	Custom order for the columns in the heatmap.	None
clusterRows	bool	Whether to apply hierarchical clustering to rows.	True
clusterColumns	bool	Whether to apply hierarchical clustering to columns.	True
cmap	str	The colormap for the heatmap.	'vlag'
figsize	tuple of float	The size of the figure to create (width, height). If None, the size is inferred.	None
overlayValues	bool	If True, overlays the correlation coefficient values on the heatmap.	False
fontSize	int	Font size for overlay values.	10
fontColor	str	Color of the font used for overlay values.	'black'
fileName	str	Name of the file to save the heatmap. Relevant only if saveDir is specified.	'groupCorrelation.pdf'
saveDir	str	Directory to save the generated heatmap. If None, the heatmap is not saved.	None

Returns:

Name	Type	Description
plot	matplotlib	Displays or saves a heatmap visualizing the correlation between specified groups.

Example

# Basic usage with auto-detected conditions and groups
sm.pl.groupCorrelation(adata, groupBy='cell_type', condition='patient_id')

# Normalized group counts with specific groups and custom clustering disabled
sm.pl.groupCorrelation(adata, groupBy='cell_type', condition='patient_id', normalize=True,
                 subsetGroups=['B cells', 'T cells'], clusterRows=False, clusterColumns=False)

# Using custom ordering and overlaying values with specified font size and color
sm.pl.groupCorrelation(adata, groupBy='cell_type', condition='patient_id', overlayValues=True,
                 orderRow=['T cells', 'B cells'], fontSize=12, fontColor='blue',
