An R package for fast topic inference to identify tissue architecture in multiplexed images. It implements a spatial topic model to identify immunologic topics across multiplexed images, given the cell location and cell type information as input. Collapsed Gibbs Sampling algorithm is used for model inference. Compared to other KNN-based methods (such as KNN-kmeans, the default in Seurat v5 R package), SpaTopic runs much faster on large-scale image dataset.
The R package SpaTopic now is available in CRAN and can be installed with the following code.
install.packages("SpaTopic")The development version of SpaTopic can be installed from the GitHub repository.
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("xiyupeng/SpaTopic")SpaTopic requires dependency on the following R packages:
- Rcpp for C++ codes
- RcppProgress for C++ codes
- RcppArmadillo for C++ codes
- RANN for fast KNN
- foreach for parallel computing
- sf for spatial analysis
The required input of SpaTopic is a data frame containing cells within on a single image or a list of data frames for multiple images. Each data frame consists of four columns: The image ID, X, Y cell coordinates, and cell type information.
library(SpaTopic)
library(sf)
## The input can be a data frame or a list of data frames
data("lung5")
head(lung5)
