Helper function to calculate the induced sparsity

Usage

calculate_sparsity_stats(object, no_exp_bins = 10L)

Arguments

object

synthetic_bulk_data object. You need to have run simulate_dropouts() for this function to work.

no_exp_bins

Integer. Number of expression bins to check. Defaults to 10L.

Value

A list with various statistics about the sparsity

  • original_sparsity - Original proportion of zeroes in the counts.

  • final_sparsity - Sparsity after applying simulate_dropouts().

  • added_sparsity - Added sparsity.

  • gene_sparsity_mean - Mean sparsity for the genes.

  • gene_sparsity_sd - SD sparsity form the genes.

  • sample_sparsity_mean - Mean sparsity for the genes.

  • sample_sparsity_sd - SD sparsity for the genes.

  • dropout_by_expression - Dropout per expression bin level.
