Some views have too many features – suggestions for dimensionality reduction?

Open JanakiRamya36 opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

I’m using MOFA2 on bulk multi-omics data (methylation and gene expression) with ~95k CpG sites and ~20k genes across 270 samples. While creating the MOFA object, I get the error: "Some views have too many features. Please consider doing stringent feature selection before proceeding."

Is there a recommended max number of features per view and What’s the best way to reduce data dimensionality?

One of the ways would be to only keep some highly variable features (e.g. top few thousand genes and e.g. top 10k CpG sites).
