popari.simulation_framework.SyntheticDataset.sample_noisy_expression

SyntheticDataset.sample_noisy_expression(background_expression=0.2, rate=10.0)

Samples gene expression from Negative Binomial distribution according to SyntheticDataset attributes.

Uses self.variance_y.

TODO: make it so that mean expression is stored in .obsm, not in .X (so that this method does not mutate mean expression).

Parameters:

background_expression (float)
