Simulate a self-contained bulk-transcriptomics MAE

This function is intended for examples, teaching, backend smoke tests, and reproducible bug reports. Its synthetic annotations and outcomes have no biological meaning and must not be used as reference data for real studies.

Usage

mae_simulate(n_features = 300L, n_samples = 12L, seed = 1L, experiment = "rna")

Arguments

n_features: Number of simulated expression features.
n_samples: Even number of simulated samples.
seed: Local random seed; the caller's random-number state is restored.
experiment: Experiment name in the returned MAE.

Value

A MultiAssayExperiment::MultiAssayExperiment containing integer counts, log_expression, and tpm assays; feature lengths and synthetic identifiers in row metadata; and common design, prediction, and survival variables in sample metadata.

Examples

example_mae <- mae_simulate(n_features = 100, n_samples = 8, seed = 1)
mae_assays(example_mae, "rna")
#> [1] "counts"         "log_expression" "tpm"
