scimo provides extra recipes steps for dealing with omics data, while also being adaptable to other data types.
Installation
You can install scimo from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("abichat/scimo")
Example
The cheese_abundance
dataset describes fungal community abundance of 74 Amplicon Sequences Variants (ASVs) sampled from the surface of three different French cheeses.

The following recipe will
- aggregate the ASV variables at the family level, as defined by
list_family
; - transform counts into proportions;
- discard variables those p-values are above 0.05 with a Kruskal-Wallis test against
cheese
.

To see which variables are kept and the associated p-values, you can use the tidy
method on the third step:

Notes
protection stack overflow
error
If you have a very large dataset, you may encounter this error:
data("pedcan_expression")
recipe(disease ~ ., data = pedcan_expression) %>%
step_select_cv(all_numeric_predictors(), prop_kept = 0.1)
#> Error: protect(): protection stack overflow
It is linked to how R handles many variables in formulas. To solve it, pass only the dataset to recipe()
and manually update roles with update_role()
, like in the example below:
recipe(pedcan_expression) %>%
update_role(disease, new_role = "outcome") %>%
update_role(-disease, new_role = "predictor") %>%
step_select_cv(all_numeric_predictors(), prop_kept = 0.1)

Steps for variable selection
Like colino, scimo proposes 3 arguments for variable selection steps based on a statistic: n_kept
, prop_kept
and cutoff
.
n_kept
andprop_kept
deal with how many variables will be kept in the preprocessed dataset, based on an exact count of variables or a proportion relative to the original dataset. They are mutually exclusive.cutoff
removes variables whose statistic is below (or above, depending on the step) it. It could be used alone or in addition to the two others.
