I am analysing genome features using genome_structural_correction/block_bootstrap.py from http://www.encodestatistics.org/ to assess the correlation between regions resulting from my analysis and hg19 repeatmasker regions downloaded from UCSC.

For my result regions, I have a bed file containing 12739 regions between 1000 and ~5000 bp each, which encompass about 32Mb of hg19:

cat diff.median.g20.bed | awk -F'\t' 'BEGIN{SUM=0}{ SUM+=$3-$2 }END{print SUM}'
32193400

Compared to the size of hg19, I calculate the r value of my dataset to use for block_bootstrap.py:

cat hg19.extents.bed | awk -F'\t' 'BEGIN{SUM=0}{ SUM+=$3-$2 }END{print SUM}'
3095693983

echo "32193400/3095693983" | bc -l
.01039941291897391009
.0104 # rounding up

I run block_bootstrap.py between my result regions and a repeatmasker bed file using the binary-only (-B) option:

block_bootstrap.py -1 /tmp/hg19.rmsk.repclass.bed -2 /tmp/diff.median.g20.bed -d hg19.extents.bed -B -r 0.0104 -n 20 -v

And in parallel I shuffle my result regions like this:

shuffleBed -i /tmp/diff.median.g20.bed -g hg19.genome > /tmp/my_regions_shuffled.bed

And run block_bootstrap.py between the shuffled regions and repeatmasker:

block_bootstrap.py -1 /tmp/hg19.rmsk.repclass.bed -2 /tmp/my_regions_shuffled.bed -d /illumina/development/curium/misc/hg19.extents.bed -B -r 0.0104 -n 20 -v

Now if I look at the results for both, I get a p-value=0.0 and although the Z score of 1909.23333225 for my result regions than the shuffled regions (1512.34240055), the difference is not huge:

diff.median.g20.bed                                  my_regions_shuffled.bed

I was expecting the result of the test with shuffled regions not to be significant, but it is. Any ideas what might be happening here? Could this be a bug in the script?

I did, what am I missing from it?

Are you sure about your input files? Besides, testing for correlations requires an --test cc option (bc is the default). I didn't understand your r calculation. Are your features mean distance around 0.01 * 2500bp? It seems that you're testing pretty small things in pretty small blocks.

Cool, will try your suggestions. I think I misunderstood what -r should be. How do I guess what -r should be? How do I know the mixing distance of features -1 and -2?

-r --region_fraction : the fraction of each region (e.g. chromosome) to take 
in each block-wise sample.  The product of this number, and the minimum 
segment length (e.g. for no segmentation, using whole human chromosomes, the 
minimum segment length would be about 50Mb due to chromosome Y), should be  
larger than the mixing distance of features -1 and -2.  For human, if the  
minimum segment length is around 5Mb (some segmentation has been done, or the
features of interest are not defined everywhere throughout the genome, e.g.  
due to mappability issues), then this number should be at least 0.01 for most
features. This number can be fitted under a stability criterion.

A bit more info. I ran a parameter sweep on --region_fraction with a pair of shuffled beds, and I can't really explain what is the relationship between --region_fraction and the resulting Z Scores and p-values... More troubling, some --region_fraction values just fail. Here a few: 

for r in `seq 0.001 0.01 1`; do echo r=$r; /illumina/thirdparty/genome_structural_correction/block_bootstrap.py -t cc -r $r -n 20 -v -1 /tmp/my_regions_shuffled.bed -2 /tmp/my_regions_shuffled2.bed -d /tmp/hg19.extents.bed 2>/dev/null | grep -B1 p-value; done

You´ re using too few samples (-n 20 is just for testing). The relationship is described in the GSC draft starting at page 26. What kind of feature are you testing?

Ok, the same loop with -n 1000 does give meaningful values. It sometimes crashes though with this error: 

for r in `seq 0.001 0.01 1`; do echo r=$r; /illumina/thirdparty/genome_structural_correction/block_bootstrap.py -t cc -r $r -n 1000 -v -1 /tmp/my_regions_shuffled.bed -2 /tmp/my_regions_shuffled2.bed -d /tmp/hg19.extents.bed; done

Are you using numpy? It looks like a numerical exception (value too big to be held by your int/long int type). Are your machine 64 bits? Can you edit your coment to put the error inside a code block? It's hard to read it like this. Maybe a pastebin link should be a better option.

I am using a 64 bits machine. How can I know if the script is using numpy? Is numpy a dependency of the script?

It's not a dependency. But, it will use it if available. It seems that the statistical_functions.py (required by base_types.py) is running without numpy. Try to install numpy (or check if it's installed). Numpy has better numerical type support and should get rid of this error.

Numpy is available for the version of python I am using:

This script:

# test numpy script
import numpy
print numpy.__file__

Gives me: 

/illumina/thirdparty/python/python-2.6.8/lib/python2.6/site-packages/numpy/__init__.pyc

Nah! I looked at the __new__ function. It expects sequence coords. Again, are you sure about your data files? No negative coords? No way too big number to be represented by a long? 'Cause now it really seems to be a bug . . .

I hope my bed files are sane. For the sake of reproducibility, I've placed them here:

Your bed files look OK. I wasn't able to reproduce your error (no my_regions_shuffled2.bed in your link). I've made one on my own. Comparing your diff file against its shuffled version using hg19.rmsk gives meaningful results for a broad range of r-values (all slightly negative Z-scores). So, everything seems to work as expected. I suppose you're on a Mac with and old python version.

So should I use -r 0.01 or just any value will do? I am using CentOS with Python-2.7.3. The my_regions_shuffled2.bed should just be another shuffling as my_regions_shuffled.bed is. So what Z-score/p-value do you get with the shuffled bed?

This is similar to a question I asked a while back (and never really found an answer for..) Need advice on the correct usage for the Genome Structure Correction statistical software from the ENCODE project
