View source: R/dataset.subsample.R

Description

datasource.subsample picks randomly the specified amount of samples from the original datasource and also adds noise to the subsampled dataset if it is specified.

    datasource.subsample(datasource,experiments=NA,datasets.num=5,
        local.noise=20,global.noise=0,noiseType="normal",
        samplevar=TRUE, seed = NULL)

Arguments

datasource

data.frame where columns contain variables and rows contain experiments.

experiments

Integer specifying the number of experiments that for performing the subsampling of datasources (default: NA).

datasets.num

Integer specifying the number of datasets to be generated for each of the selected original datasources (default: 5).

local.noise

Integer specifying the desired percentage of local noise to be added at each of the subsampled datasets (default: 20).

global.noise

Integer specifying the desired percentage of global noise to be added at each of the subsampled datasets (default: 0).

noiseType

Character specifying the type of the noise to be added: "normal" (default: "normal").

samplevar

Logical specifying if the datasets should have variability in the number of experiments between them (default: TRUE).

seed

A single value, interpreted as an integer to specify seeds, useful for creating simulations that can be reproduced (default: NULL) - see set.seed.

Details

If the argument experiments is NA, the value experiments will be calculated automatically in order to have datasets.num smaller datasets that does not have the same experiment twice inside each dataset. Each of the subsampled datasets experiments would have a number of experiments around experiments \pm 20 \% that would be chosen randomly among the original the original number of experiments without replacement.

If the argument experiments is a number, the number of datasets.num is calculated automatically. If the number of specified experiments is greater or equal than the original number of experiments, then only a replicate will be generated and the subsampled dataset would have the same dimensions as the original one but the experiments will be unsorted randomly.

Two different types of noises could be added, that are specified with the argument noiseType:

Value

datasource.subsample returns a list with datasets.num elements, each one of objects contains a data.frame of the subsampled dataset with the amount of Gaussian noise specified that would contain the same number of variables.
