Splits an scMethrix object into two for use as a training and test set

generate_training_set(scm = NULL, training_prop = 0.2, seed = "123")

Arguments

scm	`scMethrix`; the single cell methylation experiment
training_prop	numeric; The size of the training set as a proportion of the experiment (0 to 1) For a range, the optimal value will be estimated; this is time-intensive.
seed	string; value to use for sampling

Value

list; two scMethrix objects names 'training' and 'test'

Details

Typically used for teaching classification algorithms. The seed can be set for consistency.

Examples

data('scMethrix_data')
generate_training_set(scMethrix_data, training_prop = 0.2)
