If you're working with multiple matrices in R, you might encounter challenges when attempting to loop through them to create individual heatmaps. In this guide, we'll explore how to correctly loop over matrices using the pheatmap package and ensure each matrix is treated as a separate entity. Let's dive into the solution for this common problem. The Problem: Looping Over Matrices You have two matrices, Mx1 and Mx2. Your goal is to generate heatmaps for each of these matrices using the pheatmap function in R. However, when you attempted to combine the matrices into a list for looping, you inadvertently merged them into a single, combined dataset. Example Code That Didn't Work [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] This code does not work as intended because the c function converts both matrices into a single vector, losing their distinct matrix properties. The Solution: Creating a Proper List of Matrices To successfully loop over your matrices, you need to store them in a list, rather than combining them into a vector. Using the dplyr package simplifies this process with the lst function, which preserves the matrix structure. Step 1: Creating a List with Matrices [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] This code snippet creates a list called Matrices_list containing the two separate matrices while retaining their properties. Looping Through Matrices Once you have your list of matrices, the next step is to loop through them correctly to generate heatmaps for each. Here are two approaches using base R and tidyverse. Base R Approach Instead of looping directly over the elements of the list, use seq_along() to access matrix elements by their index: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] This ensures you're accessing each matrix based on its position in the list and helps construct appropriate filenames. Tidyverse Approach If you're comfortable with the purrr package from the tidyverse, you can streamline this process further using imap() or iwalk() functions: [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] In this case: .x represents each matrix element. .y is used to reference the names of the corresponding elements, which are used to create the output file names. What’s the Difference? imap(): Prints the return values to the console. iwalk(): Does not print those values, which can be useful for cleaner output. Conclusion Looping over matrices to generate heatmaps in R can be done efficiently and effectively by using lists to maintain their structure. Whether you stick with base R or leverage the tidyverse, the approach can be tailored to suit your coding style. With these techniques, you’re now equipped to create individual heatmaps for each matrix, enhancing your data visualization capabilities. Happy coding!
