Random generation for the PLN model with latent mean equal to mu, latent covariance matrix equal to Sigma and average depths (sum of counts in a sample) equal to depths

rPLN(
  n = 10,
  mu = rep(0, ncol(Sigma)),
  Sigma = diag(1, 5, 5),
  depths = rep(10000, n)
)

Arguments

n

the sample size

mu

vectors of means of the latent variable

Sigma

covariance matrix of the latent variable

depths

Numeric vector of target depths. The first is recycled if there are not n values

Value

a n * p count matrix, with row-sums close to depths, with an attribute "offsets" corresponding to the true generated offsets (in log-scale).

Details

The default value for mu and Sigma assume equal abundances and no correlation between the different species.

Examples

## 10 samples of 5 species with equal abundances, no covariance and target depths of 10,000
