Changelog added to the doc
PANDA’s CY Chen implementation that is different from the original implementation on the following points
We reach a 20-25% reduction in computation time and memory usage in comparison to its early version. The following optimazation has been implemented in this version:
Network Normalization:
Use MATLAB built-in zscore function instead of calculation from scratch. -> 30% speed-up.
T-function:
Use bsxfun instead of repmat, use symmetric matrix multiplication, and reuse summed-square vector. -> 25% speed-up.
PANDA Function:
Move out network normalization from PANDA function to main program to remove unnecessary repeated normalization in each following LIONESS iteration: both PPI network and motif network need to be normalized only once. -> 1-10 sec reduced for each LIONESS iteration depending on the network sizes.
Save W matrix (R+A) so that we don’t have to compute it twice. -> ~0.5% overall speed-up.
Check hamming inside the while-loop to reduce the last unnecessary updates on TFcoop and GeneCoReg networks. -> ~2% overall speed-up.
I/O:
Use MATLAB binary files (mat-file) instead of text files for I/O which boost the performance (>10x faster).
Reusing the processed middle files:
Save the input expression matrix (transposed), normalized motif/PPI networks, and the aggregated PANDA network to binary files (mat-file) for later use in each LIONESS run: expression matrix can only be saved to v7.3 mat file (compressed Matlab HDF5 format) when its size is over 2GB; normalized motif/PPI networks and output PANDA network can be saved as v6 uncompressed mat files for best I/O efficiency.
Computing gene-gene coexpression matrix:
Move out this part as an independent function so that no need to transpose the input matrix each time in LIONESS iteration. Consequently, we save a copy of expression matrix in the memory and also one matrix transpose operation overhead for each single-sample LIONESS run.
