Quantification and statistical significance analysis of group separation in NMR-based metabonomics studies

Abstract: Currently, no standard metrics are used to quantify cluster separation in PCA or PLS-DA scores plots for metabonomics studies or to determine if cluster separation is statistically significant. Lack of such measures makes it virtually impossible to compare independent or inter-laboratory studies and can lead to confusion in the metabonomics literature when authors putatively identify metabolites distinguishing classes of samples based on visual and qualitative inspection of scores plots that exhibit marginal s… Show more

“…Simply, a visual inspection of the clustering pattern or class separation in a scores plot is not typically sufficient to infer statistical relevance. Methods using cluster overlap metrics [99], statistical distances [98], and hierarchical clustering [100,101] have been successfully used to quantify separations in scores plots. Also, class membership may be inferred from 95% confidence ellipses calculated from scores [101].…”

“…For PCA and validated PLS scores, quantitative measures must be applied to reliably infer significant separations between classes within a scores plot [98]. Simply, a visual inspection of the clustering pattern or class separation in a scores plot is not typically sufficient to infer statistical relevance.…”

“…PCA was performed on the bucket tables generated from AMIX using both AMIX and MetaboAnalyst 2.0 (MetaboAnalyst 2.0—a comprehensive server for metabolomic data analysis) [25]. For each scores plot generated during the analysis, Mahalanobis distance ( D M ), two-sample Hotelling's T 2 statistic ( T 2 ), F values (Ft) and critical F values (Fc) were calculated using MatLabR2010b [26]. …”

“…4a) shows clustering of groups and the distribution of these clusters around the descriptors. A statistical analysis of cluster separation was made using the Mahalanobis distance between centroids as described in (Goodpaster and Kennedy 2011) and significant cluster separation was found between the four groups (p \ 0.001).…”
