Package
pmp 1.6.0
1 Introduction
This is a step by step tutorial on how to assess and/or correct signal drift and batch effects within/across a multi-batch direct infusion mass spectrometry (DIMS) dataset. The same approach can be used on liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LCMS) peak table as well.
Deeper details on how the algorithm works are detailed in 4.3

A more detailed overview and guidelines on strategies for quality control of mass spectrometry assays is detailed in recent work by Broadhurst et al. (2018).
To evaluate if the data needs correction, it is common practice to examine the relative standard deviation (RSD) of the quality control (QC) samples and biological samples. RSD% is also sometimes referred to as the coefficient of variation (CV). An RSD% for the QC samples below 20-30% is commonly used as an acceptable level of technical variation where signal correction is not required.
The following code calculates and plots the RSD% values of the features within the dataset.
# separate the LCMS data from the meta data
data(MTBLS79)
data <- SummarizedExperiment::assay(MTBLS79[feature_names, ])
class <- SummarizedExperiment::colData(MTBLS79)$Class
batch <- SummarizedExperiment::colData(MTBLS79)$Batch
order <- c(1:ncol(data))
# get index of QC samples
QChits <- which(class == "QC")
# small function to calculate RSD%
FUN <- function(x) sd(x, na.rm=TRUE) / mean(x, na.rm=TRUE) * 100
# RSD% of biological and QC samples within all 8 batches:
out <- matrix(ncol=2, nrow=nrow(data))
colnames(out) <- c("Sample","QC")
rownames(out) <- rownames(data)
# for each feature calculate RSD% for the samples and the QCs
for (i in 1:nrow(data)) {
out[i, 1] <- FUN(data[i, -QChits]) # for samples
out[i, 2] <- FUN(data[i, QChits]) # for QCs
}
# prepare data for plotting
plotdata <- melt(data.frame(out), variable.name="Class", value.name="RSD")
plotdata$feature <- rownames(data)
plotdata$RSD <- round(plotdata$RSD,0)
plotdata$feature <- factor(plotdata$feature, ordered=TRUE,
levels=unique(plotdata$feature))
# plot
ggplot(data=plotdata, aes(x=Class, y=feature, fill=RSD)) +
geom_tile() +
geom_text(aes(label=RSD)) +
scale_fill_gradient2(low="black", mid="white", high="red")
A violin plot is a useful way of summarising the RSD% over all samples/QCs in the data set. Note a very high QC sample RSD% value for feature ‘409.05716’.
ggplot(data=plotdata, aes(x=Class, y=RSD, fill=Class)) +

ylab("RSD%") +
guides(fill=FALSE) +
theme(panel.background=element_blank())
#> Warning: `guides(<scale> = FALSE)` is deprecated. Please use `guides(<scale> =
#> "none")` instead.
The plots indicates that most features have a QC RSD% lower than 30%, which is a commonly accepted threshold, but for some features the QC RSD% exceeds 30% and is more similar to the signal variation of the biological samples. We can calculate similar statistics per batch and visualise the results with a box plot.

An alternative measure of QC and biological sample variability is the so called D-ratio, which indicates if the technical variation within the QC samples exceeds the biological variation within biological samples.

The D-ratio is a convenient measure to assess if technical variation in the QC samples (MAD QC) is higher than the variation within the biological samples (MAD sample). Ratio values close to, or higher than 1 indicate that technical variation of the measured feature is higher than the biological variation and therefore should be treated carefully during interperation of the dataset. The colors in the figure above indicate different analytical batches. In the example above we can see that feature ‘409.05716’ has a D-ratio value above 1 in four batches, while for features ‘70.0336’ and ‘393.35878’ the D-ratio is reproducibly low within all eight batches.
Principal components analysis (PCA) can be used to check common trends in the data. Let’s inspect the scores of the first two principal components and samples colored by batch and class. For PCA model data should be normalised and missing values should be replaced using imputation, followed by data scaling. We will use the probabilistic quotient normalisation (PQN) method to normalise the data, k-nearest neighbours (KNN) for missing value imputation and finally the glog method to stabilise the variance across low and high intensity mass spectral features. See Di Guida et al. (2016) for a more detailed review on common pre-processing steps and methods.

Left side plot above clearly shows that samples measured in batches 7 and 8 are differentiating from bathes 1 to 6. On the right hand side plot the seperation between samples classes is still visible, but also seperation between measurement batches is clearly visible across PC2 axis.
4.1 Correlation between signal intensity and injection order of QC samples
Alternatively, trends in measured signal related to injection order could indicate if signal drif and/or batch effect correction is required. The plot below illustrates the measured signal of QC samples across all 8 batches. To be able to compare all 20 features measured at different signal ranges, the data will be scaled to unit variance (UV).
# autoscale the QC data
QCdata <- data[ ,QChits]
QCdata2 <- as.data.frame(scale(t(QCdata), scale=TRUE, center=TRUE))
# prepare the data for plotting
plotdata <- melt(QCdata2, value.name="intensity")
plotdata$index <- rep(1:nrow(QCdata2), ncol(QCdata2))
plotdata$batch <- as.factor(batch[QChits])
# plot

geom_point(size=2) +
facet_wrap(~ variable, ncol=4) +
theme(panel.background=element_blank()) +
scale_color_manual(values=manual_color)
This figure indicates that there is some fluctuation in the measured signal across the eight batches, and that some features are following a similar pattern, i.e. they are correlated. We can create a similar plot to the one above including linear regression fit between measured data points.

The plot above indicates that some trends can be observed. It is possible to calculate actual correlation values within QC samples for each measured feature, and we will use Kendall’s tau statistic to estimate a rank-based measure of association.

For features “133.07379” and “376.03962” calculated correlation values are aroun 0.6 and in figure above intensity increasing tren can be observed. For other features correlation values are relatively low, but in figure above clear trends in signal changes in batches 7 and 8 can be osberved.
Alternatively it is possible to calculate correlation statistics per batch and visualise the results.

4.2 Using regression to estimate signal trends and variability across QC sample
It is possible to apply univariate regression to the QC sample injection order and signal intensity, to estimate correlation and spread (R2) of the measured data points.

4.3 Example of signal drift and batch effect correction for a single feature
Let’s have a closer look to ‘451.01086’ measured feature and how signal correction can be applied.
data <- data.frame(data=
as.vector(SummarizedExperiment::assay(MTBLS79["451.01086", ])), batch=batch,
class=factor(class, ordered=TRUE))
data$order <- c(1:nrow(data))
data$batch <- as.factor(data$batch)
ggplot(data=data, aes(x=order, y=log(data,10), col=batch, shape=class)) +
geom_point(size=2) + theme(panel.background=element_blank()) +
scale_color_manual(values=manual_color)
In this plot circles and squares represent biological samples and triangles are the QC samples. Analytical batches are represented by colours. Differences in measured intensities can be observed between analytical batches.
Similar plot for QC samples only
QCdata <- data[data$class == "QC",]
ggplot(data=QCdata, aes(x=order, y=log(data,10), col=batch, shape=class)) +
geom_point(size=2) + theme(panel.background=element_blank()) +
scale_color_manual(values=manual_color, drop=FALSE) +
scale_shape_manual(values=c(16, 17, 15), drop=FALSE)
#> Warning: Removed 1 rows containing missing values (geom_point).
This figure indicates that there is signal drift present within each analytical batch and between analytical batches for this feature. Let’s have a look at the RSD% for all QC samples and QC samples within each analytical batch.
FUN <- function(x) sd(x, na.rm=TRUE)/mean(x, na.rm=TRUE) * 100
# RSD% of biological and QC samples within all 6 batches:
out <- c(NA,NA)
names(out) <- c("Biological","QC")
out[1] <-FUN(data$data[-QChits])
out[2] <-FUN(data$data[QChits])
out
#> Biological QC
#> 39.76459 49.97187# RSD% per batch:
out <- matrix(ncol=8,nrow=2)
colnames(out) <- unique(batch)
rownames(out) <- c("Biological","QC")
for (i in 1:8) {
out[1, i] <- FUN(data$data[which(!class=="QC" & batch==i)])
out[2, i] <- FUN(data$data[which(class=="QC" & batch==i)])
}
out
#> 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
#> Biological 35.55823 39.56935 34.76017 49.61587 38.86485 47.646959 31.45103

#> 8
#> Biological 32.97728
#> QC 13.49659From the outputs above it’s clear that variance of measured QC sample intensities between batches is high (RSD% = 50), and is relatively high within batches 1 to 5. For batch 3 QC variation exceeds that of the biological samples.
5 Signal drift and batch effect correction using smoothed spline fitting
We will apply QC-RSC signal correction method as it is described in Kirwan et al. (2013).
The first step involves extracting QC sample data
qcData <- data$data[class == "QC"]
qc_batch <- batch[class == "QC"]
qc_order <- order[class == "QC"]
qcData
#> [1] 4005.083 2955.796 4552.907 4958.136 5760.821 5812.888 4900.625
#> [8] 6010.015 3120.287 8224.495 2765.307 3964.597 3459.146 5813.192

#> [22] 1883.597 3399.188 2998.507 4360.648 4282.248 NA 4016.637
#> [29] 3654.521 11715.840 8870.079 11131.250 8710.432 9369.025 11047.540
#> [36] 9127.718 8363.207 10924.000Note that the QC data has 1 missing value. Smoothed spline regression doesn’t support missing values, so the workaround is to apply missing value imputation or remove the NA values from input to the smoothed spline fit function (which we will do here). We recommend at least 4 QC values be present per batch for the fit to be reliable.
The next step involves applying the smoothed spline fit function to the QC sample data within each batch. We will look at the data for batch 6 in detail.
nbatch <- unique(qc_batch)
nb <- 6
# Sample injection order
x <- qc_order[qc_batch==nbatch[nb]]
# Measured peak intensity or area
y <- qcData[qc_batch==nbatch[nb]]
y
#> [1] 4360.648 4282.248 NA 4016.637 3654.521In this example, signal for 1 QC sample wasn’t measured, so these samples need to be removed. The smoothed spline regression input will look like this:
NAhits <- which(is.na(y))
if (length(NAhits)>0) {
x <- x[-c(NAhits)]
y <- y[-c(NAhits)]
rbind(x,y)
}
#> [,1] [,2] [,3] [,4]
#> x 109.000 112.000 123.000 128.000
#> y 4360.648 4282.248 4016.637 3654.521We will apply a log transformation to the data before fitting
y <- log((y + sqrt(y^2)) / 2)
y
#> [1] 8.380376 8.362233 8.298200 8.203720Fit a smoothed cubic spline using internal cross-validation for parameter estimation

valuePredict=predict(sp.obj, order[batch==nb])
plotchr <- as.numeric(data$class)
# reverse the log transformation to convert the predictions back to the
# original scale
valuePredict$y <- exp(valuePredict$y)
plotdata <- data.frame(measured=data$data[batch==nb], fitted=valuePredict$y,
Class=class[batch==nb], order=order[batch==nb])
plotdata2 <- melt(plotdata, id.vars=c("Class","order"), value.name="intensity",
variable.name="data")
ggplot(data=plotdata2, aes(x=order, y=log(intensity,10), color=data,
shape=Class)) + geom_point(size=2) +

#> Warning: Removed 1 rows containing missing values (geom_point).
The figure above shows the original data points in blue and the fitted data in red. Triangles represent QC samples.
The next step in signal correction is to “flatten” the fitted curve to correct for signal drift. This can usually be done by subtracting the fitted values from the actual measured values for each feature. To avoid getting negative values we will add the median value of the feature to the corrected data.
fitmedian <- median(plotdata$measured, na.rm=TRUE)
plotdata$corrected_subt <- (plotdata$measured - plotdata$fitted) + fitmedian
plotdata2 <- melt(plotdata, id.vars=c("Class","order"),
value.name="intensity", variable.name="data")
plotdata_class <- as.character(plotdata2$Class)
plotdata_class[plotdata_class == "S"] <- "Sample"
plotdata_class[plotdata_class == "C"] <- "Sample"
plotdata2$Class <- factor(plotdata_class)

scale_color_manual(values=manual_color) +
facet_grid(Class ~ .) +
scale_shape_manual(values=c(17, 16), drop=FALSE)
An alternative to subtraction of the fitted values is to divide them by the median of the fit and use the resulting coefficients to correct the data points. The same general relative trends should be observed in either case.
plotdata$corrected_div <- plotdata$measured/(plotdata$fitted/fitmedian)
plotdata3 <- plotdata[,c("Class", "order", "corrected_subt", "corrected_div")]
plotdata3 <- melt(plotdata3, id.vars=c("Class","order"),
value.name="intensity", variable.name="data")
plotdata_class <- as.character(plotdata3$Class)
plotdata_class[plotdata_class=="S"] <- "Sample"
plotdata_class[plotdata_class=="C"] <- "Sample"
plotdata3$Class <- factor(plotdata_class)
ggplot(data=plotdata3, aes(x=order, y=intensity, color=data, shape=Class)) +

scale_color_manual(values=manual_color) +
geom_smooth(se=FALSE) + facet_grid(Class ~ .)
#> `geom_smooth()` using method = 'loess' and formula 'y ~ x'
So far we have applied signal correction for data points within one analytical batch. The code below will perform the same steps for each of the 8 batches.
outl <- rep(NA, nrow(data))
for (nb in 1:length(nbatch)){
# assigning sample injection order for a batch to 'x', and corresponding
# intensities to 'y'
x <- qc_order[qc_batch == nbatch[nb]]
y <- qcData[qc_batch == nbatch[nb]]
# remove measurements with missing values
NAhits <- which(is.na(y))
if (length(NAhits) > 0) {
x <- x[-c(NAhits)]
y <- y[-c(NAhits)]
}
# require at least 4 data points for QC fit
if (length(y) >= 4) {
range <- c(batch == nbatch[nb])
# Order is a vector of sample indices for the current batch
outl[range] <- pmp:::splineSmoother(x=x, y=y, newX=order[range],
log=TRUE, a=1, spar=0)
# If less than 5 data points are present, return empty values
} else {
range <- c(batch == nbatch[nb])
outl[range] <- rep(NA, nrow(data))[range]
}
}
plotdata <- data.frame(measured=data$data, fitted=outl, Class=class,
batch=batch, order=c(1:nrow(data)))
plotdata2 <- melt(plotdata, id.vars=c("batch","Class","order"),
value.name="intensity", variable.name="data")
ggplot(data=plotdata2, aes(x=order, y=log(intensity,10),
color=data, shape=Class)) + geom_point(alpha=0.5, size=2) +
theme(panel.background=element_blank()) +
scale_color_manual(values=manual_color)
After smoothed spline fit per each batch is calculated, we can apply signal correction within each batch.
# median intensity value is used to adjust batch effect
mpa <- rep(NA, nrow(data))
for (bch in 1:8) {
mpa[batch==bch] <- median(data$data[batch==bch], na.rm=TRUE)
}
QC_fit <- outl/mpa
# and correct actual data
res <- data$data/QC_fit
# correct data using subtratcion
res2 <- (data$data -outl) +mpa
plotdata <- data.frame(measured=data$data, corrected_subt=res2,
corrected_div=res, Class=class, batch=batch, order=c(1:nrow(data)))
plotdata2 <- melt(plotdata, id.vars=c("batch","Class","order"),
value.name="intensity", variable.name="data")

The figure above shows the measured data points in blue and the corrected values using subtraction (red) or division(green). Fitted smoothed spline curves of the corrected data over all batches still indicates that there is batch related signal drift in the data. This can be corrected using the “grand median”.
First, a grand median is calculated across all batches, and then difference between each batch median and the grand median is subtracted from all the samples in that batch, to remove the difference.
mpa <- rep(NA, nrow(data))
for (bch in 1:8) {
mpa[batch == bch] <- median(res2[batch == bch], na.rm=TRUE)

mpa[batch == bch] <- median(res[batch == bch], na.rm=TRUE)
}
grandMedian <- median(res, na.rm=TRUE)
mpa <- mpa - grandMedian
plotdata$corrected_div <- plotdata$corrected_div - mpa
