# assignPOP 
Population Assignment using Genetic, Non-Genetic or Integrated Data in a Machine-learning Framework
## Description
This R package helps perform population assignment and infer population structure using a machine-learning framework. It employs supervised machine-learning methods to evaluate the discriminatory power of your data collected from source populations, and is able to analyze **large genetic, non-genetic, or integrated (genetic plus non-genetic) data** sets. This framework is designed for solving the upward bias issue discussed in previous studies. Main features are listed as follows.
- Use principle component analysis (PCA) for dimensionality reduction (or data transformation)
- Use Monte-Carlo cross-validation to estimate mean and variance of assignment accuracy
- Use *K*-fold cross-validation to estimate membership probability
- Allow to resample various sizes of training datasets (proportions or fixed numbers of individuals and proportions of loci)
- Allow to choose from various proportions of training loci either randomly or based on locus *Fst* values
- Provide several machine-learning classification algorithms, including LDA, SVM, naive Bayes, decision tree, and random forest, to build tunable predictive models.
- Output results in publication-quality plots that can be modified using ggplot2 functions
## Install assignPOP
You can install the released version from CRAN or the up-to-date version from this Github respository.
- To install from CRAN
* Simply enter `install.packages("assignPOP")` in your R console
- To install from Github
* step 1. Install devtools package by entering `install.packages("devtools")`
* step 2. Import the library, `library(devtools)`
* step 3. Then enter `install_github("alexkychen/assignPOP")`
Note: When you install the package from Github, you may need to install additional packages before the assignPOP can be successfully installed. Follow the hints that R provided and then re-run `install_github("alexkychen/assignPOP")`.

## What's new
Changes in ver. 1.3.0 (2024.3.13)
- Update accuracy.plot - adjust ggplot's aes_string() due to its deprecation.
- Update testthat test_accuracy and test_membership to meet ggplot2 3.5.0 requirements
History
Changes in ver. 1.2.4 (2021.10.27)
- Update membership.plot - add argument 'plot.k' and 'plot.loci' to skip related question prompt.
Changes in ver. 1.2.3 (2021.8.17)
- Update assign.X - (1)Add argument 'common' to specify whether stopping the analysis when inconsistent features between data sets were found. (2)Add argument 'skipQ' to skip data type checking on non-genetic data. (3)Modify argument 'mplot' to handle membership probability plot output.
Changes in ver. 1.2.2 (2020.11.6)
- Update read.Genepop and read.Structure - locus has only one allele across samples will be kept. Use reduce.allele to remove single-allele or low variance loci.
- In ver. 1.2.1, errors might be generated when running assign.MC (and other assignment test functions) due to existence of single-allele loci. (fixed in ver. 1.2.2)
Changes in ver. 1.2.1 (2020.8.24)
- Update read.Genepop to increase file reading speed (~40 times faster)
- Update read.Structure to increase file reading speed (~90 times faster)
- read.Structure now also can handle triploid and tetraploid organisms (see arg. ploidy)
- fix bug in allele.reduce to handle small p threshold across all loci
Changes in ver. 1.2.0 (2020.7.24)
- Add codes to check model name in assign.MC, assign.kfold, assign.X
- Add text to SVM description
- Fix cbind/stringsAsFactors issues in several places for R 4.0
- Able to inject arugments used in models (e.g., gamma in SVM)
Changes in ver. 1.1.9 (2020.3.16)
- Fix input non-genetic data (x1) error in assign.X
Changes in ver. 1.1.8 (2020.2.28)
- update following functions to work with R 4.0.0
- accuracy.MC, accuracy.kfold, assign.matrix, compile.data, membership.plot
- add stringsAsFactor=T to read.table and read.csv
- temporarily turn off testthat due to its current failure to pass test in Debian system
Changes in ver. 1.1.7 (2019.8.26)
- add broken-stick method for principal component selection in assign.MC, assign.kfold, and assign.X functions
- update accuracy.MC, accuracy.kfold, assign.matrix to handle missing levels of predicted population in test results
- update assign. and accuracy. functions to handle numeric population names
Changes in ver. 1.1.6 (2019.6.8)
- fix multiprocess issue in assign.kfold function
Changes in ver. 1.1.5 (2018.3.23)
- Update assign.MC & assign.kfold to detect pop size and train.inds/k.fold setting
- Update accuracy.MC & assign.matrix to handle test individuals not from every pop
- Slightly modify levels method in accuracy.kfold
- fix bugs in accuracy.plot for K-fold results
- fix membership.plot title positioning and set text size to default
Changes in ver. 1.1.4 (2018.3.8)
- Fix missing assign.matrix function
Changes in ver. 1.1.3 (2017.6.15)
- Add unit tests (using package testthat)
Changes in ver. 1.1.2 (2017.5.13)
- Change function name read.genpop to read.Genepop; Add function read.Structure.
- Update read.genpop function, now can read haploid data
