Arguments

object

an object of SingleCellExperiment class.

gene_filter

a boolen variable which defines whether to perform gene filtering before sc3min clustering.

pct_dropout_min

if gene_filter = TRUE, then genes with percent of dropouts smaller than pct_dropout_min are filtered out before clustering.

pct_dropout_max

if gene_filter = TRUE, then genes with percent of dropouts larger than pct_dropout_max are filtered out before clustering.

d_region_min

defines the minimum number of eigenvectors used for kmeans clustering as a fraction of the total number of cells. Default is 0.04. See sc3min paper for more details.

d_region_max

defines the maximum number of eigenvectors used for kmeans clustering as a fraction of the total number of cells. Default is 0.07. See sc3min paper for more details.

svm_num_cells

number of randomly selected training cells to be used for SVM prediction. The default is NULL.

svm_train_inds

a numeric vector defining indeces of training cells that should be used for SVM training. The default is NULL.

svm_max

define the maximum number of cells below which SVM is not run.

n_cores

defines the number of cores to be used on the user's machine. If not set, 'sc3min' will use all but one cores of your machine.

kmeans_nstart

nstart parameter passed to kmeans function. Default is 1000 for up to 2000 cells and 50 for more than 2000 cells.

kmeans_iter_max

iter.max parameter passed to kmeans function. Default is 1e+09.

rand_seed

sets the seed of the random number generator. sc3min is a stochastic method, so setting the rand_seed to a fixed values can be used for reproducibility purposes.

Value

an object of SingleCellExperiment class
