This vignette uses the STRING database (https://string-db.org/) of protein-protein interactions as the network-based penalizer in generalized linear models using Breast invasive carcinoma sample dataset.
The degree vector is calculated manually to account for genes that are not present in the STRING database, as these will not have any interactions, i.e. edges.
3.1 Download Data from STRING
Retrieve all interactions from STRING databse. We have included a helper function that retrieves the Homo sapiens known interactions.
For this vignette, we use a cached version of all interaction with
score_threshold = 700
Note: Text-based interactions are excluded from the network.
# Not evaluated in vignette as it takes too long to download and process
all.interactions.700 <- stringDBhomoSapiens(score_threshold = 700)
string.network <- buildStringNetwork(all.interactions.700,
use.names = 'external')4 Build network matrix
Build a sparse matrix object that contains the network.

Venn diagram of overlapping genes.
Descriptive table showing which genes are selected in each model
We can observe, that elastic net without network-based penalization selects the best model with 40% more genes than glmOrphan and glmHub, without loosing accuracy.
note: size of circles represent the degree of that gene in network.
