Python-based CLI pipeline for Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) k-optimization on ATAC-seq data. Processes TCGA Z-scores to identify optimal component numbers through:

1. Binary accessibility mapping from Z-scores
2. Sample grouping by embryonic origen
3. NMF evaluation across k-values (2-26)
4. Metric calculation (F1, AUPRC, Reconstruction Error)
5. Model weight storage and visualization

# Setup

pip install -r requirements.txt

# Configure paths in config.json
# Run pipeline
python prepare_data.py

• TCGA Z-scores: Parquet file with features as rows, samples as columns (starting column 7)
• Sample IDs: Must follow TCGA format for cancer type extraction
• Python 3.7+ with packages from requirements.txt

# Data preparation (run once)
python prepare_data.py

# Group-specific analysis
python run_group_nmf_cli.py Ectoderm
python run_group_nmf_cli.py Mesoderm --n-jobs 4

# All samples analysis
python run_allsamples_nmf_cli.py

# Using tmux
tmux new -s nmf_pipeline

Each analysis produces:

• {k}NMF/weights/: W.npy (features×k), H.npy (samples×k) matrices
• *_evaluation_summary.csv: Metrics for all k values
• summary_figures/: K-selection plots
• *_run_parameters.json: Analysis parameters

• Max Mean F1: Higher = better component separation
• AUPRC: Higher = better reconstruction quality
• Reconstruction Error: Lower = better fit

• Findable: Clear naming, version control support
• Accessible: Open-source, CLI-based, standard dependencies
• Interoperable: JSON, Parquet, NPZ, CSV formats
• Reusable: Modular design, configurable parameters
