Background

In today’s class we will apply the methods and techniques clustering and PCA to help make sense of a real world breast cancer FNA biopsy data set.

Data import

We start importing our data. It is a CSV file so we will use read.csv function.

fna.data <- read.csv("WisconsinCancer.csv")
wisc.df <- data.frame(fna.data, row.names=1)
head(wisc.df,2)

Q4. From your results, what proportion of the original variance is captured by the first principal component (PC1)?

44.27%

Q5. How many principal components (PCs) are required to describe at least 70% of the original variance in the data?

PC3 a captured 72.6% variance

Q6. How many principal components (PCs) are required to describe at least 90% of the original variance in the data?

PC7 already captured 91% variance

Interpreting PCA results

biplot(wisc.pr)

This plot is very hard to read and understand

Scatter plot: PC1 vs. PC2

# Scatter plot observations by components 1 and 2
library(ggplot2)

ggplot(wisc.pr$x) +
  aes(PC1, PC2, col=diagnosis) +
  geom_point()

Scatter plot: PC1 vs. PC3

library(ggplot2)

ggplot(wisc.pr$x) +
  aes(PC1, PC3, col=diagnosis) +
  geom_point()

Variance explained

# Calculate variance of each component
pr.var <- wisc.pr$sdev^2

[1] 13.281608  5.691355  2.817949  1.980640  1.648731  1.207357
# Variance explained by each principal component: pve
pve <-pr.var/30

# Plot variance explained for each principal component
plot(c(1,pve), xlab = "Principal Component", 
     ylab = "Proportion of Variance Explained", 
     ylim = c(0, 1), type = "o")

# Alternative scree plot of the same data, note data driven y-axis
barplot(pve, ylab = "Percent of Variance Explained",
     names.arg=paste0("PC",1:length(pve)), las=2, axes = FALSE)
axis(2, at=pve, labels=round(pve,2)*100 )

Communicating PCA results

Q9. For the first principal component, what is the component of the loading vector (i.e. wisc.pr$rotation[,1]) for the feature concave.points_mean? This tells us how much this original feature contributes to the first PC. Are there any features with larger contributions than this one?

wisc.pr$rotation["concave.points_mean",1]
[1] -0.2608538

Hierarchical clustering

# Scale the wisc.data data using the "scale()" function
data.scaled <- scale(wisc.data)
data.dist <- dist(data.scaled)
wisc.hclust <- hclust(data.dist)
plot(wisc.hclust)
abline(h=19.5, col="red", lty=2)

wisc.hclust.clusters <- cutree(wisc.hclust,k=4)
table(wisc.hclust.clusters, diagnosis)
                    diagnosis
wisc.hclust.clusters   B   M
                   1  12 165
                   2   2   5
                   3 343  40
                   4   0   2

Combine methods

Here we will take our PCA results and use those as input for clustering. In other words our wisc.pr$x scores that we plotted above (the main output from PCA - how the data lie on our new principal component axis/variables) and use a subset of these PCs that captre the most variance as input for hclust().

wisc.pr.hclust <-hclust(dist(wisc.pr$x[,1:3]), method = "ward.D2")
plot(wisc.pr.hclust)

Cut the dendrogram/tree into two main groups/clusters:

grps <- cutree(wisc.pr.hclust, k=2)
table(grps)
grps
  1   2 
203 366 

I want to know how the clustering in grps with values of 1 or 2 correspond the expert diagnosis

table(grps, diagnosis)
    diagnosis
grps   B   M
   1  24 179
   2 333  33

My clustering group 1 are mostly “M” diagnosis (179) and my clustering group 2 are mostly “B” diagnosis (333)

24 FP 179 TP 333 TN 33 FN

Specificity: TP/(TP+FN)

179/(179+33)
[1] 0.8443396

Specificity: TN/(TN+FP)

333/(333+24)

Q. Which of these new patients should we prioritize for follow up based on your results?

Patient 1 should be prioritize.
