A comparative study of evaluating missing value imputation methods in label-free proteomics
Abstract The presence of missing values (MVs) in label-free quantitative proteomics greatly reduces the completeness of data. Imputation has been widely utilized to handle MVs, and selection of the proper method is critical for the accuracy and reliability of imputation. Here we present a comparativ...

Simulated MVs were incorporated into the complete part of each dataset with different combinations of MV rates and missing not at random (MNAR) rates. Normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) was applied to evaluate the accuracy of protein abundances and intergroup protein ratios after imputation. Detection of true positives (TPs) and false altered-protein discovery rate (FADR) between groups were also compared using the benchmark dataset. Furthermore, the accuracy of handling real MVs was assessed by comparing enriched pathways and signature genes of cell activation after imputing the immune cell dataset. We observed that the accuracy of imputation is primarily affected by the MNAR rate rather than the MV rate, and downstream analysis can be largely impacted by the selection of imputation methods. A random forest-based imputation method consistently outperformed other popular methods by achieving the lowest NRMSE, high amount of TPs with the average FADR < 5%, and the best detection of relevant pathways and signature genes, highlighting it as the most suitable method for label-free proteomics.Liang JinYingtao BiChenqi HuJun QuShichen ShenXue WangYu TianNature PortfolioarticleMedicineRScienceQENScientific Reports, Vol 11, Iss 1, Pp 1-11 (2021) |
