# A program to compute the q-values based on the p-values of multiple simultaneous tests. # The q-valules are computed using a specific R package created by John Storey called "qvalue". # The input is a TABULAR format file consisting of one column only that represents the p-values # of multiple simultaneous tests, one line for every p-value. # The first output is a TABULAR format file consisting of one column only that represents the q-values # corresponding to p-values, one line for every q-value. # the second output is a TABULAR format file consisting of three pages: the first page represents # the p-values histogram, the second page represents the q-values histogram, and the third page represents # the four Q-plots as introduced in the "qvalue" package manual. use strict; use warnings; use IO::Handle; # check to make sure having correct input and output files my $usage = "usage: compute_q_values.pl [TABULAR.in] [lambda] [pi0_method] [fdr_level] [robust] [TABULAR.out] [PDF.out] \n"; die $usage unless @ARGV == 7; #get the input arguments my $p_valuesInputFile = $ARGV[0]; my $lambdaValue = $ARGV[1]; my $pi0_method = $ARGV[2]; my $fdr_level = $ARGV[3]; my $robustValue = $ARGV[4]; my $q_valuesOutputFile = $ARGV[5]; my $p_q_values_histograms_QPlotsFile = $ARGV[6]; if($lambdaValue =~ /sequence/){ $lambdaValue = "seq(0, 0.95, 0.05)"; } #open the input files open (INPUT, "<", $p_valuesInputFile) || die("Could not open file $p_valuesInputFile \n"); open (OUTPUT1, ">", $q_valuesOutputFile) || die("Could not open file $q_valuesOutputFile \n"); open (OUTPUT2, ">", $p_q_values_histograms_QPlotsFile) || die("Could not open file $p_q_values_histograms_QPlotsFile \n"); #open (ERROR, ">", "error.txt") or die ("Could not open file error.txt \n"); #save all error messages into the error file $errorFile using the error file handle ERROR #STDERR -> fdopen( \*ERROR, "w" ) or die ("Could not direct errors to the error file error.txt \n"); #warn "Hello Error File \n"; #variable to store the name of the R script file my $r_script; # R script to implement the calcualtion of q-values based on multiple simultaneous tests p-values # construct an R script file and save it in the same directory where the perl file is located $r_script = "q_values_computation.r"; open(Rcmd,">", $r_script) or die "Cannot open $r_script \n\n"; print Rcmd " #options(show.error.messages = FALSE); #load necessary packages suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(tcltk)); library(qvalue); #read the p-values of the multiple simultaneous tests from the input file $p_valuesInputFile p <- scan(\"$p_valuesInputFile\", quiet = TRUE); #compute the q-values that correspond to the p-values of the multiple simultaneous tests qobj <- qvalue(p, pi0.meth = \"$pi0_method\", lambda = $lambdaValue, fdr.level = $fdr_level, robust = $robustValue); #qobj <- qvalue(p, pi0.meth = \"smoother\", lambda = seq(0, 0.95, 0.05), fdr.level = 0.05); #qobj <- qvalue(p, pi0.meth = \"bootstrap\", fdr.level = 0.05); #draw the p-values histogram, the q-values histogram, and the four Q-plots # and save them on multiple pages of the output file $p_q_values_histograms_QPlotsFile pdf(file = \"$p_q_values_histograms_QPlotsFile\", width = 6.25, height = 6, family = \"Times\", pointsize = 12, onefile = TRUE) hist(qobj\$pvalues); #dev.off(); hist(qobj\$qvalues); #dev.off(); qplot(qobj); dev.off(); #save the q-values in the output file $q_valuesOutputFile qwrite(qobj, filename=\"$q_valuesOutputFile\"); #options(show.error.messages = TRUE); #eof\n"; close Rcmd; system("R --no-restore --no-save --no-readline < $r_script > $r_script.out"); #close the input and output and error files #close(ERROR); close(OUTPUT2); close(OUTPUT1); close(INPUT);
