sWeeP {rSWeeP} | R Documentation

## A vectorial comparative method to amino acid sequence.

### Description

The "Spaced Words Projection (SWeeP)" is a method for representing biological sequences using compact vectors. SWeeP uses the spacedwords concept by scanning sequences and generating indices to create a higherdimensional matrix of occurrences that is later projected into a smaller randomly oriented orthonormal base (PIERRI, 2019). This way the resulting matrix will conserve the comparational data but will have a selectable size

### Usage

    sWeeP(xfas, baseMatrix)

    ## S4 method for signature 'character'
    sWeeP(xfas, baseMatrix)

    ## S4 method for signature 'AAStringSet'
    sWeeP(xfas, baseMatrix)

### Arguments

`xfas` | A AAStringSet or a FASTA format file
`baseMatrix` | A orthonormal matrix with 160.000 coordinates

### Details

The SWeeP method was developed to favor the comparison between complete proteomic sequences and to assist in machine learning analyzes. This method is based on the concept of spaced words, which are used to scan biological sequences and project them into matrix of occurrences, favoring the manipulation of the data. The sWeeP function can project a matrix n by m, where n is the number of sequences in the analized `xfas` and m is the number of columns in `baseMatrix` matrix.

### Value

A matrix resulted by the projection of the sequences in `xfas` in the `baseMatrix` matrix

### Examples

    baseMatrix <- orthBase(160000,10)
    path <- system.file(package = "rSWeeP", "extdata", "exdna.fas")
    return <- sWeeP(path,baseMatrix)
    distancia <- dist(return, method = "euclidean")
    tree <- hclust(distancia, method="ward.D")
    plot(tree, hang = -1, cex = 1)
