## Introduction
CytoDx is a method that predicts clinical outcomes using single cell data without the need of cell gating. It first predicts the association between each cell and the outcome using a linear statistical model. The cell level predictions are then averaged within each sample to represent the sample level predictor. A second sample level model is used to make prediction at the sample level.
## Installation
To install the MetaCyto package, please run the following code:
```
library("devtools")
install_github("hzc363/CytoDx")
```
## Example
Here we provide a simple simulated example. Please see the vignette for an example that applies tssm to diagnos accute myeloid lymphoma using flow cytometry data.
```
library(CytoDx)
# simulate 10 samples of class A
A = data.frame("marker1"=c(rnorm(1000),rnorm(1000,mean=10)),
"marker2"=c(rnorm(1000),rnorm(1000,mean=10)),
"sample"=sample(1:10,2000,replace = T),
"y"="A")
# simulate 10 samples of class B
B = data.frame("marker1"=c(rnorm(1500),rnorm(500,mean=10)),
"marker2"=c(rnorm(1500),rnorm(500,mean=10)),
"sample"=sample(11:20,2000,replace = T),
"y"="B")
# build CytoDx model
dat = rbind(A,B)
fit = CytoDx.fit(x = as.matrix(dat[,1:2]),
y = (dat$y=="A"),
xSample = dat$sample,
family = "binomial",
reg = F)
# predict
pred = CytoDx.pred(fit = fit,
xNew = as.matrix(dat[,1:2]),
xSampleNew = dat$sample)
# plot probability
result = data.frame("Truth"=rep(c("A","B"),each=10),
"Prob"=pred$xNew.Pred.sample$y.Pred.s0)
stripchart(result$Prob~result$Truth, jitter = 0.1,
vertical = TRUE, method = "jitter", pch = 20,
xlab="Truth",ylab="Predicted Prob of A")
