# UpSetR [![](http://www.r-pkg.org/badges/version/UpSetR)](https://cran.r-project.org/package=UpSetR) [![](http://cranlogs.r-pkg.org/badges/grand-total/UpSetR)](http://cranlogs.r-pkg.org/badges/grand-total/UpSetR)



## Technique



UpSetR generates static [UpSet](http://vcg.github.io/upset/) plots. The UpSet technique visualizes set intersections in a matrix layout and introduces aggregates based on groupings and queries. The matrix layout enables the effective representation of associated data, such as the number of elements in the aggregates and intersections, as well as additional summary statistics derived from subset or element attributes.



For further details about the original technique see the [UpSet website](http://vcg.github.io/upset/about/). You can also check out the [UpSetR shiny app](https://gehlenborglab.shinyapps.io/upsetr/). [Here is the source code](https://github.com/hms-dbmi/UpSetR-shiny) for the shiny wrapper. 



A [Python package](https://github.com/ImSoErgodic/py-upset) called [py-upset](https://github.com/ImSoErgodic/py-upset) to create UpSet plots has been created by GitHub user [ImSoErgodic](https://github.com/ImSoErgodic).

## Sample Data



Sample data sets for UpSetR are included in the package and can be loaded like this:



```R

movies <- read.csv( system.file("extdata", "movies.csv", package = "UpSetR"), header=T, sep=";" )

mutations <- read.csv( system.file("extdata", "mutations.csv", package = "UpSetR"), header=T, sep = ",")

```



The movie data set created by the [GroupLens Lab](http://grouplens.org/datasets/movielens) and curated by [Bilal Alsallakh](https://github.com/bilalsal) and the mutations data set was originally created by the TCGA Consortium and represents mutations for the 100 most mutated genes in a glioblastoma multiforme cohort.



## Examples



In addition to the examples shown here, we have included a range of UpSetR plots in the [paper about the R package](#citation), which can be found in a [separate GitHub repository](https://github.com/hms-dbmi/UpSetR-paper). 



### Vignettes



There are currently four vignettes that explain how to use the features included in the UpSetR package:

* [Basic Usage](https://cran.r-project.org/package=UpSetR/vignettes/basic.usage.html)

* [Queries](https://cran.r-project.org/package=UpSetR/vignettes/queries.html)

* [Attribute Plots](https://cran.r-project.org/package=UpSetR/vignettes/attribute.plots.html)

* [Set Metadata](https://cran.r-project.org/package=UpSetR/vignettes/set.metadata.plots.html)

```R

upset(movies,attribute.plots=list(gridrows=60,plots=list(list(plot=scatter_plot, x="ReleaseDate", y="AvgRating"),

list(plot=scatter_plot, x="ReleaseDate", y="Watches"),list(plot=scatter_plot, x="Watches", y="AvgRating"),

list(plot=histogram, x="ReleaseDate")), ncols = 2))

```R

upset(mutations, sets = c("PTEN", "TP53", "EGFR", "PIK3R1", "RB1"), sets.bar.color = "#56B4E9",

order.by = "freq", empty.intersections = "on")

```



An example using two set queries (war movies and noir movies) along with attribute plots comparing the average rating (top) and average rating vs the number of times the movies have been watched (bottom).

```R

upset(movies, attribute.plots=list(gridrows = 100, ncols = 1, 

plots = list(list(plot=histogram, x="AvgRating",queries=T),

list(plot = scatter_plot, y = "AvgRating", x = "Watches", queries = T))), 

sets = c("Action", "Adventure", "Children", "War", "Noir"),

queries = list(list(query = intersects, params = list("War"), active = T),

list(query = intersects, params = list("Noir"))))

```
