ordinalbayes: Bayesian Ordinal Regression for High-Dimensional Data

Introduction

The ordinalbayes R package was developed for fitting ordinal Bayesian models when there is a high-dimensional covariate space, such as when high-throughput genomic data are used in modeling the ordinal outcome. This package depends on the runjags R package and JAGS (version >=4.x.x) must be installed as well. See the JAGS and [runjags] (https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=runjags) for installation instructions. The package includes the function ordinalbayes which can be used to fit LASSO (model = "lasso"), normal spike-and-slab (model = "normalss"), double exponential spike-and-slab (model = "dess"), and regression-based variable inclusion indicator Bayesian models (model = "regressvi"). Variable selection can be performed using Bayes factor or using the posterior distributions of the variable inclusion indicators directly. This vignette describes the syntax required for each of our Bayesian models.

The package includes a two subsets of The Cancer Genome Atlas Cervical Squamous Cell Carcinoma and Endocervical Adenocarcinoma (TCGA-CESC) dataset: finalSet includes 2,009 transcripts while reducedSet includes 41 transcripts. Both datasets include the same set of subjects who belong to FIGO stages I (N = 124), II (N = 61), and III-IV (N = 57). Additionally, the cesc data.frame is an object that combines the phenotypic and gene expression data into one object. To shorten run time, all illustrations will use cesc.

The primary function for model fitting in the ordinalbayes package is ordinalbayes. The function arguments are

args(ordinalbayes)
#> function (formula, data, x = NULL, subset, center = TRUE, scale = TRUE, 
#>     a = 0.1, b = 0.1, model = "regressvi", gamma.ind = "fixed", 
#>     pi.fixed = 0.05, c.gamma = NULL, d.gamma = NULL, alpha.var = 10, 
#>     sigma2.0 = NULL, sigma2.1 = NULL, coerce.var = 10, lambda0 = NULL, 
#>     nChains = 3, adaptSteps = 5000, burnInSteps = 5000, numSavedSteps = 9999, 
#>     thinSteps = 3, parallel = TRUE, seed = NULL, quiet = FALSE) 
#> NULL

The ordinalbayes function accepts a model formula that specifies the ordinal outcome on the left-hand side of the equation and any unpenalized predictor variable(s) from the phenotypic dataset on the right-hand side of the equation; if no unpenalized predictor variables are included, the model formula includes 1 (the intercept) on the right-hand side of the equation. Unpenalized predictors are those that we want to coerce into the model (e.g., age) so that no penalty is applied. When unpenalized predictors are included (or coerced) into the model, the user can specify the variance associated with those model parameters (default coerce.var=10).

For example, this call fits a regression-based variable inclusion indicator Bayesian model to predict the ordinal outcome Stage where cigarettes_per_day+age_at_index and age_at_index are included as unpenalized predictors (coerced into the model) and the expression of 41 genes are included as penalized predictors. The user should pass to x the genomic feature data (e.g., expression of genes from high-throughput assays) to be penalized in the fitted model, which are in columns 5-45 of the cesc data.frame. Here a fixed constant prior for πj is set to 0.05. To shorten run time for demonstration purposes, we reduced the number of iterations for adaptation (adaptSteps), the number of iterations of the Markov chain to run (burnInSteps), and the number of saved steps per chain (numSavedSteps) for all examples.

fit<-ordinalbayes(Stage~cigarettes_per_day+age_at_index, data=cesc,x=cesc[, 5:45], model="regressvi", gamma.ind="fixed", pi.fixed=0.05, adaptSteps=500, burnInSteps=500,  numSavedSteps=999)

By default the genomic features are centered (center=TRUE) and scaled (scale=TRUE) and three chains are run (nChains). The user can subset the data set prior to model fitting, for example, subset=(race=="white").

LASSO Ordinal Model

The LASSO Bayesian ordinal model can be fit by specifying model="lasso" which assumes the penalized coefficients βj for j = 1, …, P are from independent Laplace (or double exponential) distributions with parameter λ which is from a Gamma distribution with parameters a and b. The default parameters are a=0.01 and b=0.01.

fit.lasso<-ordinalbayes(Stage~cigarettes_per_day+age_at_index, data=cesc,x=cesc[, 5:45], model="lasso", adaptSteps=500, burnInSteps=500,  numSavedSteps=999)

Regression-Based Variable Inclusion Indicator Ordinal Model

Like the LASSO model, the regression-based variable inclusion indicator model assumes the penalized coefficients βj for j = 1, …, P are from independent Laplace (or double exponential) distributions with parameter λ which is from a Gamma distribution with parameters a and b. Additionally, a variable inclusion indicator γj is assumed to follow a Bernoulli distribution with parameter πj. The user can use either a fixed (gamma.ind="fixed") or random (gamma.ind="random") prior for πj. When gamma.ind="fixed", the user can specify pi.fixed as the constant prior to be some value the (0, 1) interval (default is 0.05). Here there are no unpenalized covariates included in the model so the right-hand side of the model formula is 1.

fit.regressvi.fixed<-ordinalbayes(Stage~1, data=cesc,x=cesc[, 5:45], model="regressvi", gamma.ind="fixed", pi.fixed=0.05, adaptSteps=500, burnInSteps=500,  numSavedSteps=999)

When gamma.ind="random", the user must specify parameter values for the Beta distribution c.gamma (e.g., 0.01) and d.gamma (e.g. 0.19).

fit.regressvi.random<-ordinalbayes(Stage~1, data=cesc,x=cesc[, 5:45], model="regressvi", gamma.ind="random", c.gamma=0.01, d.gamma=0.19, adaptSteps=500, burnInSteps=500,  numSavedSteps=999)

Normal Spike-and-Slab Ordinal Model

The normal spike-and-slab Bayesian ordinal model can be fit by specifying model="normalss". When fitting this model the user is required to specify the variance for the spike by setting sigma2.0 to a small positive value (e.g., 0.01) and variance for the slab by setting sigma2.1 to a large positive value (e.g., 10). Additionally, a variable inclusion indicator γj is assumed to follow a Bernoulli distribution with parameter πj. The user can use either a fixed (gamma.ind="fixed") or random (gamma.ind="random") prior for πj. When gamma.ind="fixed", the user can specify pi.fixed as the constant prior to be some value the (0, 1) interval (default is 0.05). Here there are no unpenalized covariates included in the model so the right-hand side of the model formula is 1.

fit.normalss.fixed<-ordinalbayes(Stage~1, data=cesc,x=cesc[, 5:45], model="normalss", gamma.ind="fixed", pi.fixed = 0.05, sigma2.0=0.01, sigma2.1=10, adaptSteps=500, burnInSteps=500,  numSavedSteps=999)

When gamma.ind="random", the user must specify parameter values for the Beta distribution c.gamma (e.g., 0.01) and d.gamma (e.g. 0.19).

fitted.normalss.random<-ordinalbayes(Stage~1, data=cesc,x=cesc[, 5:45], model="normalss", gamma.ind="random", c.gamma = 0.01, d.gamma=0.19, sigma2.0=0.01, sigma2.1=10, adaptSteps=500, burnInSteps=500,  numSavedSteps=999)

Double Exponential Spike-and-Slab Ordinal Model

The double exponential spike-and-slab ordinal model can be fit by specifying model="dess". Like LASSO and , the slab is taken to be a double exponential distribution with parameter λ which follows a Gamma distribution with parameters a and b. When fitting this model the user is required to specify the parameter for the spike (λ0) using lambda0 (e.g., 20). Additionally, a variable inclusion indicator γj is assumed to follow a Bernoulli distribution with parameter πj. The user can use either a fixed (gamma.ind="fixed") or random (gamma.ind="random") prior for πj. When gamma.ind="fixed", the user can specify pi.fixed as the constant prior to be some value the (0, 1) interval (default is 0.05). Here there are no unpenalized covariates included in the model so the right-hand side of the model formula is 1.

fit.dess.fixed<-ordinalbayes(Stage~1, data=cesc,x=cesc[, 5:45], model="dess", gamma.ind="fixed", pi.fixed = 0.05, lambda0=20, adaptSteps=500, burnInSteps=500,  numSavedSteps=999)

When gamma.ind="random", the user must specify parameter values for the Beta distribution c.gamma (e.g., 0.01) and d.gamma (e.g. 0.19).

fit.dess.random<-ordinalbayes(Stage~1, data=cesc,x=cesc[, 5:45], model="dess", gamma.ind="random", c.gamma = 0.01, d.gamma=0.19, lambda0=20, adaptSteps=500, burnInSteps=500,  numSavedSteps=999)

Other Package Functions

Generic functions for the resulting ordinalbayes object are available for extracting meaningful results from the resulting MCMC chain. The print function returns several summaries from the MCMC output for each parameter monitored including: the 95th lower confidence limit for the highest posterior density (HPD) credible interval (Lower95), the median value (Median), the 95th upper confidence limit for the HPD credible interval (Upper95), the mean value (Mean), the sample standard deviation (SD), the mode of the variable (Mode), the Monte Carlo standard error (MCerr,) percent of SD due to MCMC (MC%ofSD), effective sample size (SSeff), autocorrelation at a lag of 30 (AC.30), and the potential scale reduction factor (psrf).
