Delete column names after spherizing #74

Open michaelbornholdt opened 3 years ago

michaelbornholdt commented 3 years ago

@FloHu noticed that the original names of the features are carried through after spherizing. We might want to not do that since it can confuse people actually using the consensus data later on then. I think they should just be named feature_1 .. x

@gwaygenomics ? You ok with this?

gwaybio commented 3 years ago

the feature names for spherized data still hold meaning though, right?

michaelbornholdt commented 3 years ago

I dont think so They are a transformed space where dim 1 is that Principal component with the highest variation. @shntnu ?

shntnu commented 3 years ago

There’s some version of it where you do rotate it back got the original space

michaelbornholdt commented 3 years ago

ok hm, so we keep the column names then? Or we differentiate depending on if we rotate back ?

shntnu commented 3 years ago

Indeed the feature name should represent the space in which they are in.
