createMocks

Description

Given the number of samples of the dataset from which the mocks should be created, this function produces a data.frame object with as many rows as the number of mocks and as many columns as the number of samples. If an odd number of samples is given, the lower even integer will be considered in order to obtain a balanced design for the mocks.

Usage

createMocks(nsamples, N = 1000)

Arguments

nsamples	an integer representing the total number of samples.
N	number of mock comparison to generate.

Value

a data.frame containing N rows and nsamples columns (if even). Each cell of the data frame contains the "grp1" or "grp2" characters which represent the mock groups pattern.

Examples

# Generate the pattern for 100 mock comparisons for an experiment with 30
# samples
mocks <- createMocks(nsamples = 30, N = 100)
head(mocks)
