Parameters

  • est_method (str {gmm, negbin} The estimation method to be used when using the stochastic model.) –

    • Available options when the model is ‘ss’ include:

    (2) ‘gmm’: The new generalized methods of moments from us that is based on master equations, similar to the “moment” model in the excellent scVelo package; (3) ‘negbin’: The new method from us that models steady state RNA expression as a negative binomial distribution, also built upon on master equations. Note that all those methods require using extreme data points (except negbin, which use all data points) for estimation. Extreme data points are defined as the data from cells whose expression of unspliced / spliced or new / total RNA, etc. are in the top or bottom, 5%, for example. linear_regression only considers the mean of RNA species (based on the deterministic ordinary different equations) while moment based methods (gmm, negbin) considers both first moment (mean) and second moment (uncentered variance) of RNA species (based on the stochastic master equations). The above method are all (generalized) linear regression based method. In order to return estimated parameters (including RNA half-life), it additionally returns R-squared (either just for extreme data points or all data points) as well as the log-likelihood of the fitting, which will be used for transition matrix and velocity embedding. All est_method uses least square to estimate optimal parameters with latin cubic sampler for initial sampling.

Parameters

  • X (ndarray (dimension: n_obs x n_features)) – Original data.

  • Grid (ndarray) – The function that returns diffusion matrix which can be dependent on the variables (for example, genes)

  • M (int (default: None)) – The number of basis functions to approximate the vector field. By default it is calculated as min(len(X), int(1500 * np.log(len(X)) / (np.log(len(X)) + np.log(100)))). So that any datasets with less than about 900 data points (cells) will use full data for vector field reconstruction while any dataset larger than that will at most use 1500 data points.

  • ecr (float (default: 1e-5)) – The minimum limitation of energy change rate in the iteration process.

  • gamma (float (default: 0.9)) – Percentage of inliers in the samples. This is an inital value for EM iteration, and it is not important. Default value is 0.9.

  • lambda (float (default: 3)) – Represents the trade-off between the goodness of data fit and regularization.

  • minP (float (default: 1e-5)) – The posterior probability Matrix P may be singular for matrix inversion. We set the minimum value of P as minP.

  • MaxIter (int (default: 500)) – Maximum iteration times.

  • div_cur_free_kernels (bool (default: False)) – A logic flag to determine whether the divergence-free or curl-free kernels will be used for learning the vector field.

  • sigma (int) – Bandwidth parameter.

  • eta (int) – Combination coefficient for the divergence-free or the curl-free kernels.

  • seed (int or 1-d array_like, optional (default: 0)) – Seed for RandomState. Must be convertible to 32 bit unsigned integers. Used in sampling control points. Default is to be 0 for ensure consistency between different runs.

Learn an function of vector field from sparse single cell samples in the entire space robustly. Reference: Regularized vector field learning with sparse approximation for mismatch removal, Ma, Jiayi, etc. al, Pattern Recognition

Parameters

  • normalize ('bool' (default: False)) – Logic flag to determine whether to normalize the data to have zero means and unit covariance. This is often required for raw dataset (for example, raw UMI counts and RNA velocity values in high dimension). But it is normally not required for low dimensional embeddings by PCA or other non-linear dimension reduction methods.

  • method ('string') – Method that is used to reconstruct the vector field functionally. Currently only SparseVFC supported but other improved approaches are under development.

Return type

`dict’

get_Jacobian(method='analytical', input_vector_convention='row', **kwargs)[source]

Get the Jacobian of the vector field function. If method is ‘analytical’: The analytical Jacobian will be returned and it always take row vectors as input no matter what input_vector_convention is.

If method is ‘numerical’: If the input_vector_convention is ‘row’, it means that fjac takes row vectors as input, otherwise the input should be an array of column vectors. Note that the returned Jacobian would behave exactly the same if the input is an 1d array.

The column vector convention is slightly faster than the row vector convention. So the matrix of row vector convention is converted into column vector convention under the hood.

No matter the method and input vector convention, the returned Jacobian is of the following format:

df_1/dx_1 df_1/dx_2 df_1/dx_3 … df_2/dx_1 df_2/dx_2 df_2/dx_3 … df_3/dx_1 df_3/dx_2 df_3/dx_3 … … … … …

fit(adata, x_lim, y_lim, basis='umap', method='Ao', xyGridSpacing=2, dt=0.01, tol=0.01, numTimeSteps=1400)[source]

Function to map out the pseudo-potential landscape.

Although it is appealing to define “potential” for biological systems as it is intuitive and familiar from other fields, it is well-known that the definition of a potential function in open biological systems is controversial (Ping Ao 2009). In the conservative system, the negative gradient of potential function is relevant to the velocity vector by ma = −Δψ (where m, a, are the mass and acceleration of the object, respectively). However, a biological system is massless, open and nonconservative, thus methods that directly learn potential function assuming a gradient system are not directly applicable. In 2004, Ao first proposed a framework that decomposes stochastic differential equations into either the gradient or the dissipative part and uses the gradient part to define a physical equivalent of potential in biological systems (P. Ao 2004). Later, various theoretical studies have been conducted towards this very goal (Xing 2010; Wang et al. 2011; J. X. Zhou et al. 2012; Qian 2013; P. Zhou and Li 2016). Bhattacharya and others also recently provided a numeric algorithm to approximate the potential landscape.

This function implements the Ao, Bhattacharya method and Ying method and will also support other methods shortly.

Parameters

  • adata (AnnData) – AnnData object that contains U_grid and V_grid data

  • x_lim (list) – Lower or upper limit of x-axis.

  • y_lim (list) – Lower or upper limit of y-axis

  • basis (str (default: umap)) – The dimension reduction method to use.

  • method ('string' (default: Bhattacharya)) – Method used to map the pseudo-potential landscape. By default, it is Bhattacharya (A deterministic map of Waddington’s epigenetic landscape for cell fate specification. Sudin Bhattacharya, Qiang Zhang and Melvin E. Andersen). Other methods will be supported include: Tang (), Ping (), Wang (), Zhou ().

Returns

  • if Bhattacharya is used –
