Generate synthetic single cell data (Seurat type)

rs_synthetic_sc_data_csc.Rd

This function generates pseudo data to test single cell functions in form of the Seurat version, with cells = columns and genes = rows. The data is CSC type.

Usage

rs_synthetic_sc_data_csc(n_genes, n_cells, min_genes, max_genes, max_exp, seed)

Arguments

n_genes

Integer. Number of genes you wish to have in the synthetic data.

n_cells

Integer. Number of cells you wish to have in the synthetic data.

min_genes

Integer. Minimum number of genes expressed per cell.

max_genes

Integer. Maximum number of genes expressed per cell.

max_exp

Upper bound in terms of expression. Expression values will be sampled from 1:max_exp.

seed

Integer. Seed for reproducibility purposes.

Value

The list with the synthetic data with the following items:

  • data - The synthetic counts

  • col_ptrs - The column pointers

  • row_indices - The row indices

  • nrow - Number of rows (cells)

  • ncol - Number of cols (genes)
