generateSimNet: Generate simulated network and test

In LiLabAtVT/CoReg: Identification of co-regulators

Generate simulated network and test

Description

This function generates simulated network with pre-specified modular structure

Usage

generateSimNet(mSize,mNum,targetNum,auxNum,prob)

Arguments

mSize	Size of module in simulated network(s)
mNum	Number of regulator gene in each module
targetNum	Number of target genes for each regualtor in the module
auxNum	Number of auxiliary genes in simulated network(s)
prob	Co-regulation probability. A numeric value between 0 and 1. Larger value generates network with stronger co-regulation pattern

Details

This function first calls generates simulated network with pre-specified modular structure. The properties of network are specified by the arguments. The approach of generating simulated netwoks is a modified version of a previous publication. Modification is made to generate co-regulatory modules in directed network

Value

A list including following elements:

el	Edge list of the simulated network
modulePartition	The pre-specified module labels for regulator genes. They are considered as "ground truth" of co-regulatory mdoules
