plot_weights {MOFA2} | R Documentation

## Plot distribution of feature weights (weights)

### Description

An important step to annotate factors is to visualise the corresponding feature weights.
This function plots all weights for a given latent factor and view, labeling the top ones.
In contrast, the function `plot_top_weights` displays only the top features with highest loading.

### Usage

    plot_weights(
      object,
      view = 1,
      factors = 1,
      nfeatures = 10,
      color_by = NULL,
      shape_by = NULL,
      abs = FALSE,
      manual = NULL,
      color_manual = NULL,
      scale = TRUE,
      dot_size = 1,
      text_size = 5,
      legend = TRUE,
      return_data = FALSE
    )

### Arguments

`object` | a `MOFA` object.
`view` | a string with the view name, or an integer with the index of the view.
`factors` | character vector with the factor name(s), or numeric vector with the index of the factor(s).
`nfeatures` | number of top features to label.
`color_by` | specifies groups or values (either discrete or continuous) used to color the dots (features). This can be either: (default) the string "group": in this case, the plot will color the dots with respect to their predefined groups. a character giving the name of a feature that is present in the input data a character giving the same of a column in the features metadata slot a vector of the same length as the number of features specifying the value for each feature a dataframe with two columns: "feature" and "color"
`shape_by` | specifies groups or values (only discrete) used to shape the dots (features). This can be either: (default) the string "group": in this case, the plot will shape the dots with respect to their predefined groups. a character giving the name of a feature that is present in the input data a character giving the same of a column in the features metadata slot a vector of the same length as the number of features specifying the value for each feature a dataframe with two columns: "feature" and "shape"
`abs` | logical indicating whether to take the absolute value of the weights.
`manual` | A nested list of character vectors with features to be manually labelled (see the example for details).
`color_manual` | a character vector with colors, one for each element of 'manual'
`scale` | logical indicating whether to scale all weights from -1 to 1 (or from 0 to 1 if abs=TRUE).
`dot_size` | numeric indicating the dot size.
`text_size` | numeric indicating the text size.
`legend` | logical indicating whether to add legend.
`return_data` | logical indicating whether to return the data frame to plot instead of plotting

### Value

A `ggplot` object or a `data.frame` if return_data is TRUE

### Examples

    # Using an existing trained model on simulated data
    file <- system.file("extdata", "model.hdf5", package = "MOFA2")
    model <- load_model(file)

    # Plot distribution of weights for Factor 1 and View 1
    plot_weights(model, view = 1, factors = 1)

    # Plot distribution of weights for Factors 1 to 3 and View 1
    plot_weights(model, view = 1, factors = 1:3)

    # Take the absolute value and highlight the top 10 features
    plot_weights(model, view = 1, factors = 1, nfeatures = 10, abs = TRUE)

    # Change size of dots and text
    plot_weights(model, view = 1, factors = 1, text_size = 5, dot_size = 1)
