Crosstalk in single-grain luminescence imaging (EMCCD) is the overlapping of luminescence signals from adjacent grains on a single-grain disc. The actual signal on one grain location influences the observed signal on a neighboring grain location which happens to be on the same measurement disc (one "position" in the reader). In this research and the shown functions, we define "neighboring" as rook-wise (horizontally and vertically) only, and we assume that all measurement discs have a regular grid of 10x10 grain locations. ```{r init} library(Luminescence) ``` # Explore imaged luminescence signals from a single-grain disc (one "position" in the reader) All grain location observations on one single-grain measurement disc are represented by a vector of 100 numbers. Here we simulate such a disc by randomly selecting from two normal distributions. The prefix "vn_" means: a vector of numbers: ```{r simulate_signal, fig.dim = c(8, 6), out.width="800px"} vn_simulated <- sample(x = c(rnorm(n = 30, mean = 2000, sd = 500), rnorm(n = 70, mean = 20, sd = 1)), size = 100) vn_simulated <- round(vn_simulated) # Because photons are discrete head(vn_simulated, n = 25) hist(vn_simulated, main = "Simulated signal (histogram)", xlab = "Photon counts", ylab = "Frequency", breaks = 30 ) ``` ## plot_SingleGrainDisc Let's visualize the disc/position: ```{r show_disc_basic, fig.dim = c(7, 7), out.width="800px"} par(mar = c(1, 4, 6, 4)) plot_SingleGrainDisc(object = vn_simulated, main = "Simulated signal (measurement disc)" ) ``` Let's calculate Moran's I, and the associated pseudo-p, of our randomly ordered simulated disc: ```{r calculate_moransI} calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated) calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated, compute_pseudo_p = TRUE) ``` what changes if we add a serious amount, say 10%, of crosstalk? ```{r add_crosstalk, fig.dim = c(8, 6), out.width="800px"} vn_simulated_with_crosstalk <- apply_Crosstalk(object = vn_simulated, n_crosstalk = 0.10) vn_simulated_with_crosstalk <- round(vn_simulated_with_crosstalk) hist(vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, main = "Simulated signal with crosstalk (histogram)", xlab = "Photon counts", ylab = "Frequency", breaks = 30 ) plot_SingleGrainDisc(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, main = "Simulated signal with crosstalk (measurement disc)") calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk) calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, compute_pseudo_p = TRUE) ``` Let's try several amounts of simulated crosstalk: ```{r test_different_amounts, fig.dim = c(8, 6), out.width="800px"} df_MoransI <- data.frame(crosstalk = seq(from = 0, to = 0.30, length.out=50)) df_MoransI$MoransI <- NA df_MoransI$pseudo_p <- NA old.opts <- options(warn = -1) # silence warnings from compute_pseudo_p for (i in 1:nrow(df_MoransI)) { vn_simulated_with_crosstalk <- apply_Crosstalk(object = vn_simulated, n_crosstalk = df_MoransI$crosstalk[i]) df_MoransI$MoransI[i] <- calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk) df_MoransI$pseudo_p[i] <- calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, compute_pseudo_p = TRUE) } options(old.opts) # restore the default options n_expected_I_no_spatial_autocorr <- calc_MoransI(1:100, spatial_autocorrelation = FALSE) ## plot(x = df_MoransI$crosstalk, y = df_MoransI$MoransI, ylim = range( pretty(x = c(df_MoransI$MoransI, n_expected_I_no_spatial_autocorr)) ), ## Set ylim manually to make sure the value for I for no crosstalk is visible xlab = "Amount of added crosstalk", ylab = "Calculated Moran's I" ) graphics::grid() abline(h = n_expected_I_no_spatial_autocorr, col = "purple") legend(x = "topleft", legend = "Expected I if no spatial autocorrelation", lty = "solid", col = "purple", cex = 0.8) plot(x = df_MoransI$crosstalk, y = df_MoransI$pseudo_p, xlab = "Amount of added crosstalk", ylab = "Generated pseudo-p of related Moran's I") graphics::grid() ``` Please note that above two plots are subject to randomness; for a good assessment many simulations have to be performed. # Moran scatterplot A way to visualise spatial auto-correlation is the Moran scatterplot: ```{r show_`disc_extended_moran_scatterplot, fig.dim = c(8, 5), out.width="800px"} plot_MoranScatterplot(object = vn_simulated, main = "Moran scatterplot, simulated signal without crosstalk") vn_simulated_with_crosstalk <- apply_Crosstalk(object = vn_simulated, n_crosstalk = 0.25) vn_simulated_with_crosstalk <- round(vn_simulated_with_crosstalk) plot_MoranScatterplot(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, main = "Moran scatterplot, simulated signal with added crosstalk") ``` The plot area is divided into four quadrants using the mean in each dimension; the South-west and North-east quadrant represent a contribution to a positive spatial autocorrelation, while the North-west and South-east quadrants indicate a negative spatial correlation. Between the point, a least square line (which slopes indicates, but not exactly represents, Moran's I) is added, as well as an 1:1 line (which indicates a Moran's I of around 1, suggesting a perfect positive spatial correlation). The internal function `.get_Neighbours()` was until now used on the background, but we can explicitly call it to generate a dataframe with all positions which are rook connected to each other (note that we need to use the `Luminescence:::` prefix as this function is not exported by the package): ```{r adjacent_grain_locations, fig.dim = c(8, 5), out.width="800px"} vn_simulated_with_holes <- c(rnorm(30, mean = 10, sd = 5), rnorm(30, mean = 500, sd = 50), rep(NA, times = 40) ) df_Neighbours <- Luminescence:::.get_Neighbours(object = vn_simulated_with_holes) head(df_Neighbours) ``` And we can plot the first disc, while indicating which borders are taken into account. The corresponding `adjacent_grain_locations` is calculated in the background: ```{r adjacent_grain_locations_show_disc, fig.dim = c(8, 5), out.width="800px"} plot_SingleGrainDisc(object = vn_simulated_with_holes, show_neighbours = TRUE, show_location_ids = TRUE) ``` Also other functions, such as `calc_MoransI()`, work as long as the remaining grid does not become too sparse. Note that in this context all observations, even "islands" who do not border any other grains, are used for the calculation of Moran's I. # Add borders with certain weight One can manually change `df_Neighbours`, for example add the diagonal borders and attain a certain weight to it, and add it as argument to almost all functions. Assume that we want to add a few diagonal borders with weight 1/sqrt(2) to a full disc (note that the standard relative weight for rook borders is set to one): ```{r adjacent_grain_locations_add, fig.dim = c(8, 5), out.width="800px"} df_Neighbours_with_diag <- Luminescence:::.get_Neighbours(object = vn_simulated) for (i in c(1:9, 11:19, 21:29) ) { df_Neighbours_with_diag <- rbind(df_Neighbours_with_diag, c(i, i+11, 1/sqrt(2)) ) } tail(df_Neighbours_with_diag) plot_SingleGrainDisc(object = vn_simulated, df_neighbours = df_Neighbours_with_diag, show_neighbours = TRUE, show_location_ids = TRUE) ``` To exclude all border effects, we can use the `ignore_borders` option available in `calc_MoransI()` and `plot_SingleGrainDisc()`, which can take out all border rows and columns when computing the data frame of neighbours: ``` {r restrict_to_inner_8x8, fig.dim = c(8, 5), out.width="800px"} vn_values_to_show <- sample(x = c(rnorm(n = 30, mean = 2000, sd = 500), rnorm(n = 70, mean = 20, sd = 1)), size = 100) ## Set the outer rows to NA before adding crosstalk vn_disc_border_locations <- c(1:10, 91:100, seq(from = 11, to = 81, by = 10), seq(from = 20, to = 90, by = 10) ) vn_values_to_show[vn_disc_border_locations] <- NA vn_values_to_show <- apply_Crosstalk(object = vn_values_to_show, n_crosstalk = 0.15) calc_MoransI(object = vn_values_to_show) plot_SingleGrainDisc(object = vn_values_to_show, show_neighbours = TRUE, ignore_borders = TRUE) calc_MoransI(object = vn_values_to_show, ignore_borders = TRUE) ``` # Plot disc options ```{r show_disc_extended, fig.dim = c(8, 5), out.width="800px"} plot_SingleGrainDisc(object = vn_simulated, main = "", legend = TRUE, show_coordinates = TRUE, show_location_ids = TRUE, show_positioning_holes = FALSE) ``` When there is a wide range in values, it can be helpful to apply a logarithmic scale in plotting (note that the default is "square root"): ```{r show_disc_scales, fig.dim = c(8, 5), out.width="800px"} plot_SingleGrainDisc(object = vn_simulated, main = "Linear scale", legend = TRUE, show_coordinates = FALSE, show_location_ids = FALSE, show_positioning_holes = TRUE, str_transform = "lin") plot_SingleGrainDisc(object = vn_simulated, main = "Logarithmic scale", legend = TRUE, show_coordinates = FALSE, show_location_ids = FALSE, show_positioning_holes = TRUE, str_transform = "log") ``` # Moran scatterplot options ```{r show_scatterplot_options, fig.dim = c(8, 5), out.width="800px"} vn_simulated <- c(rnorm(75, mean = 10, sd = 5), rnorm(25, mean = 500, sd = 50) ) vn_simulated <- sample(size = 100, vn_simulated) vn_simulated_with_crosstalk <- apply_Crosstalk(object = vn_simulated, n_crosstalk = 0.15) ## Base use plot_MoranScatterplot(object = vn_simulated, main = "Without crosstalk") plot_MoranScatterplot(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, main = "With crosstalk") ## Layout options plot_MoranScatterplot(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, pch = "show_location_ids", legend = FALSE, log = "xy", main = "With location ID's; and with log scales" ) plot_MoranScatterplot(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, pch = "show_n_neighbours", legend = FALSE, str_y_def = "weighted_sum", main = "With number of neighbours, and other y calculation" ) ``` # Moran's I function options The function `calc_MoransI()` can return many intermediate calculation numbers: ```{r moransI_intermediate_numbers} calc_MoransI(object = 1:100, return_intermediate_values = TRUE) ``` If the weights (and thus the spatial pattern under investigation) and the number of observations remain the same, this can be useful to understand what is happening. For example, if we add crosstalk, we can see that the population variance in most cases slightly increases (the values are indeed spatially smoothed, but the average increases) but the spatial autocorrelation strongly increases: ```{r moransI_intermediate_numbers_extended} vn_simulated <- sample(x = c(rnorm(n = 30, mean = 2000, sd = 500), rnorm(n = 70, mean = 20, sd = 1)), size = 100) vn_simulated <- round(vn_simulated) vn_simulated_with_crosstalk <- apply_Crosstalk(object = vn_simulated, n_crosstalk = 0.20) vn_simulated_with_crosstalk <- round(vn_simulated_with_crosstalk) df_compare <- data.frame(Case = c("Without crosstalk", "With crosstalk"), MoransI = c(calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated), calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk) ), PopulationVar = c(calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated, return_intermediate_values = TRUE)$n_population_variance, calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, return_intermediate_values = TRUE)$n_population_variance), SpatialAutoCor = c(calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated, return_intermediate_values = TRUE)$n_average_auto_correlation, calc_MoransI(object = vn_simulated_with_crosstalk, return_intermediate_values = TRUE)$n_average_auto_correlation) ) df_compare[,2] <- round(df_compare[,2],2) (df_compare) ```
