The goal of SimBu is to simulate pseudo-bulk RNAseq datasets with
variable cell-type fractions baed on public or private single-cell
RNAseq datasets.
## Installation
To install the developmental version of the package, run:
```r
install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("omnideconv/SimBu")
```
To install from Bioconductor:
```r
if (!require("BiocManager", quietly = TRUE)) {
install.packages("BiocManager")
}
BiocManager::install("SimBu")
```
## Usage
Create a dataset-object with local data and simulate a pseudo-bulk
dataset
```r
library(SimBu)
# use local data to build dataset
dataset <- dataset(annotation = annotation_dataframe, count_matrix = expression_matrix, name = "test_dataset")
simulation <- simulate_bulk(data = dataset, scenario = "random", scaling_factor = "NONE")
```

started](http://omnideconv.org/SimBu/articles/simulator_documentation.html).
