zinbSimulate: ZINB-WaVE simulation

In Oshlack/splatter: Simple Simulation of Single-cell RNA Sequencing Data

ZINB-WaVE simulation

Description

Simulate counts using the ZINB-WaVE method.

Usage

zinbSimulate(params = newZINBParams(), sparsify = TRUE, verbose = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

params	ZINBParams object containing simulation parameters.
sparsify	logical. Whether to automatically convert assays to sparse matrices if there will be a size reduction.
verbose	logical. Whether to print progress messages
...	any additional parameter settings to override what is provided in params.

Details

This function is just a wrapper around zinbSim that takes a ZINBParams, runs the simulation then converts the output to a SingleCellExperiment object. See zinbSim and the ZINB-WaVE paper for more details about how the simulation works.

Value

SingleCellExperiment containing simulated counts
