The Lun2 simulation uses a negative-binomial distribution where the means and
dispersions have been sampled from a real dataset
(using lun2Estimate
). The other core feature of the Lun2
simulation is the addition of plate effects. Differential expression can be
added between two groups of plates (an "ingroup" and all other plates).
Library size factors are also applied and optionally a zero-inflated
negative-binomial can be used.
If the number of genes to simulate differs from the number of provided gene parameters or the number of cells to simulate differs from the number of library sizes the relevant parameters will be sampled with a warning. This allows any number of genes or cells to be simulated regardless of the number in the dataset used in the estimation step but has the downside that some genes or cells may be simulated multiple times.
