In Part A, we apply arbitrary filtering to the 16S rRNA and ITS data sets. In Part B we use PERFect (PERmutation Filtering test for microbiome data) (Smirnova, Huzurbazar, and Jafari 2019) to filter the data sets. And in Part C of this workflow, we use PIME (Prevalence Interval for Microbiome Evaluation) (Roesch et al. 2020) to filter the FULL 16S rRNA and ITS data sets.
Workflow Input
Files needed to run this workflow can be downloaded from figshare.
Filtering Results
We begin by summarizing the results of each filtering method on the 16S and ITS data sets. Below you can find the complete workflow for each filtering method.

ITS
(ITS) Table 1 | Summary of Arbitrary, PERfect, and PIME filtering.

A. Arbitrary Filtering
For low-count arbitrary filtering, we set the minimum read count to 5
and the prevalence to 20%. Then we apply another filter to remove ASVs with a low variance (0.2
).
16S rRNA
Code
tmp_low_count <- phyloseq::genefilter_sample(
ssu18_ps_work,
filterfun_sample(function(x) x >= 5),
A = 0.2 * nsamples(ssu18_ps_work))
tmp_low_count <- phyloseq::prune_taxa(tmp_low_count, ssu18_ps_work)
tmp_low_var <- phyloseq::filter_taxa(tmp_low_count,
function(x) var(x) > 0.2, prune = TRUE)
ssu18_ps_filt <- tmp_low_var
ssu18_ps_filt@phy_tree <- NULL
tmp_tree <- rtree(ntaxa(ssu18_ps_filt), rooted = TRUE,
tip.label = taxa_names(ssu18_ps_filt))
ssu18_ps_filt <- merge_phyloseq(ssu18_ps_filt,
sample_data,
tmp_tree)
rm(list = ls(pattern = "tmp_"))
ssu18_ps_filt
Here is the filtered 16S rRNA phyloseq object.

And again, let’s look how filtering affected total reads and ASVs for each sample.
(ITS) Table 4 | Sample summary showing the number of reads and ASVs after Arbitrary filtering.
And that’s it for Arbitrary filtering. Moving on.
B. PERfect Filtering
To run PERFect, we need the ASV tables in data frame format with samples as rows and ASVs as columns. PERFect is sensitive to the order of ASVs, so here we test a) the default order in the phyloseq object and b) ASVs ordered by decreasing abundance.
Setup
Code
samp_ps_filt <- c("ssu18_ps_work", "its18_ps_work")
for (i in samp_ps_filt) {
tmp_get <- get(i)
tmp_get_tab <- data.frame(t(otu_table(tmp_get)))
tmp_get_tab <- tmp_get_tab %>% tibble::rownames_to_column("ID")
tmp_get_tab <- jamba::mixedSortDF(tmp_get_tab, decreasing = FALSE,
useRownames = FALSE, byCols = 1)
tmp_get_tab <- tmp_get_tab %>% tibble::remove_rownames()
tmp_get_tab <- tmp_get_tab %>% tibble::column_to_rownames("ID")
tmp_get_tab <- data.frame(t(tmp_get_tab))
tmp_get_tab_ord <- data.frame(t(otu_table(tmp_get)))
tmp_get_tab_ord <- tmp_get_tab_ord %>% tibble::rownames_to_column("ID")
tmp_get_tab_ord <- jamba::mixedSortDF(tmp_get_tab_ord, decreasing = TRUE,
useRownames = FALSE, byCols = 1)
tmp_get_tab_ord <- tmp_get_tab_ord %>% tibble::remove_rownames()
tmp_get_tab_ord <- tmp_get_tab_ord %>% tibble::column_to_rownames("ID")
tmp_get_tab_ord <- data.frame(t(tmp_get_tab_ord))
tmp_tab_name <- purrr::map_chr(i, ~ paste0(., "_perfect"))
assign(tmp_tab_name, tmp_get_tab)
tmp_tab_ord_name <- purrr::map_chr(i, ~ paste0(., "_ord_perfect"))
assign(tmp_tab_ord_name, tmp_get_tab_ord)
rm(list = ls(pattern = "tmp_"))
}
objects()
Filter
Next we run the filtering analysis using PERFect_sim
. The other option is PERFect_perm
however I could not get PERFect_perm
to work as of this writing. The process never finished :/
We need to set an initial p-value cutoff. For 16S rRNA, we use 0.05
and for ITS we use 0.1
.
# Set a pvalue cutoff
ssu_per_pval <- 0.05
its_per_pval <- 0.10
Code
for (i in samp_ps_filt) {
tmp_get <- get(purrr::map_chr(i, ~ paste0(., "_perfect")))
tmp_pval <- gsub("18.*", "_per_pval", i)
tmp_get_ord <- get(purrr::map_chr(i, ~ paste0(., "_ord_perfect")))
tmp_sim <- PERFect_sim(X = tmp_get, alpha = get(tmp_pval), Order = "NP", center = FALSE)
dim(tmp_sim$filtX)
tmp_sim_ord <- PERFect_sim(X = tmp_get_ord, alpha = get(tmp_pval), Order = "NP", center = FALSE)
dim(tmp_sim_ord$filtX)
tmp_sim_name <- purrr::map_chr(i, ~ paste0(., "_perfect_sim"))
assign(tmp_sim_name, tmp_sim)
tmp_sim_ord_name <- purrr::map_chr(i, ~ paste0(., "_ord_perfect_sim"))
assign(tmp_sim_ord_name, tmp_sim_ord)
tmp_path <- file.path("files/filtering/perfect/rdata/")
saveRDS(tmp_sim, paste(tmp_path, tmp_sim_name, ".rds", sep = ""))
saveRDS(tmp_sim_ord, paste(tmp_path, tmp_sim_ord_name, ".rds", sep = ""))
rm(list = ls(pattern = "tmp_"))
}
objects(pattern = "_sim")
How many ASVs were retained after filtering?
First the 16S rRNA data set. Default ordering resulted in 20172 ASVs and reordering the data resulted in 4466 ASVs.
And then the ITS data set. Default ordering resulted in 3354 ASVs and reordering the data resulted in 2133 ASVs.
For some reason, the package does not remove based on the p value cutoff that we set earlier (0.05
). So we need to filter out the ASVs that have a higher p-value than the cutoff.
Total 16S rRNA ASVs with p-value less than 0.05
[1] default order: ASVs before checking p value was 20172 and after was 1679
[1] decreasing order: ASVs before checking p value was 4466 and after was 1659
[1] --------------------------------------
Total ITS ASVs with p-value less than 0.1
[1] default order: ASVs before checking p-value was 3354 and after was 306
[1] decreasing order: ASVs before checking p-value was 2133 and after was 264
Now we can make phyloseq objects. Manual inspection of the results from PERFect_sim
for the 16S rRNA data indicated that using the decreasing order and filtering p-values less than 0.05 yielded in the best results. Manual inspection of the results from PERFect_sim
for the ITS data indicated that using the default order and filtering p-values less than 0.1 yielded in the best results. These approaches limited the number of ASVs found in only 1 or 2 samples. So first we filter out ASVs with p-values lower than the defined cutoff and then make the objects.
# pvalue cutoffs set earlier
ssu_per_pval <- 0.05
its_per_pval <- 0.10

C. PIME Filtering
The first step in the PIME process is to rarefy the data and then proceed with the filtering. Unlike the two previous workflows—which combined the analyses of the 16S rRNA and ITS data sets—here the two data sets will be analyzed separately because the PIME workflow is considerably more complicated.

The first step in PIME is to define if the microbial community presents a high relative abundance of taxa with low prevalence, which is considered as noise in PIME analysis. This is calculated by random forests analysis and is the baseline noise detection.

Using the output of pime.split.by.variable
, we calculate the prevalence intervals with the function pime.prevalence
. This function estimates the highest prevalence possible (no empty ASV table), calculates prevalence for taxa, starting at 5 maximum prevalence possible (no empty ASV table or dropping samples). After prevalence calculation, each prevalence interval are merged.

Calculate Best Prevalence
Finally, we use the function pime.best.prevalence
to calculate the best prevalence. The function uses randomForest to build random forests trees for samples classification and variable importance computation. It performs classifications for each prevalence interval returned by pime.prevalence
. Variable importance is calculated, returning the Mean Decrease Accuracy (MDA), Mean Decrease Impurity (MDI), overall and by sample group, and taxonomy for each ASV. PIME keeps the top 30 variables with highest MDA each prevalence level.

Looks like the lowest OOB error rate (%) that retains the most ASVs is 0% from Prevalence 50
. We will use this interval.

Now we need to create a phyloseq object of ASVs at this cutoff (Prevalence 50
).
And look at a summary of the phyloseq object.

Estimate Error in Prediction
Using the function pime.error.prediction
we can estimate the error in prediction. For each prevalence interval, this function randomizes the samples labels into arbitrary groupings using n
random permutations, defined by the bootstrap
value. For each, randomized and prevalence filtered, data set the OOB error rate is calculated to estimate whether the original differences in groups of samples occur by chance. Results are in a list containing a table and a box plot summarizing the results.

bootstrap = 100, parallel = TRUE,

For each randomized and prevalence filtered data set, the OOB error rate is calculated to estimate whether the original differences in groups of samples occur by chance.
It is also possible to estimate the variation of OOB error for each prevalence interval filtering. This is done by running the random forests classification for n
times, determined by the bootstrap
value. The function will return a box plot figure and a table for each classification error.

Using the output of pime.split.by.variable
, we calculate the prevalence intervals with the function pime.prevalence
. This function estimates the highest prevalence possible (no empty ASV table), calculates prevalence for taxa, starting at 5 maximum prevalence possible (no empty ASV table or dropping samples). After prevalence calculation, each prevalence interval are merged.

Calculate Best Prevalence
Finally, we use the function pime.best.prevalence
to calculate the best prevalence. The function uses randomForest to build random forests trees for samples classification and variable importance computation. It performs classifications for each prevalence interval returned by pime.prevalence
. Variable importance is calculated, returning the Mean Decrease Accuracy (MDA), Mean Decrease Impurity (MDI), overall and by sample group, and taxonomy for each ASV. PIME keeps the top 30 variables with highest MDA each prevalence level.

its18_what_is_best <- its18_best.prev$`OOB error`
its18_what_is_best[, c(2:4)] <- sapply(its18_what_is_best[, c(2:4)], as.numeric)
its18_what_is_best <- its18_what_is_best %>%
dplyr::rename("OOB_error_rate" = "OOB error rate (%)")
its18_what_is_best$Interval <- str_replace_all(its18_what_is_best$Interval, "%", "")
its18_best <- with(its18_what_is_best, Interval[which.min(OOB_error_rate)])
its18_best <- paste("`", its18_best, "`", sep = "")
its18_prev_choice <- paste("its18_best.prev$`Importance`$", its18_best, sep = "")
its18_imp_best <- eval(parse(text = (its18_prev_choice)))
Looks like the lowest OOB error rate (%) that retains the most ASVs is 0% from Prevalence 55
. We will use this interval.
