Usage

generate_data(
  nat_mat,
  family,
  nuisance_param_vec = NA,
  library_size_vec = 1,
  tol = 0.001
)

nat_mat: An \(n\times p\) matrix of natural parameters, where \(n\) rows represent cells and \(p\) columns represent genes.
family: A character string, one of "gaussian", "exponential", "poisson", "neg_binom", "curved_gaussian", and "bernoulli".
nuisance_param_vec: Either NA or a single numeric or a length-\(p\) vector of numerics representing nuisance parameters (for family = "neg_binom" and family = "curved_gausian"). It is only required if family %in% c("neg_binom", "curved_gaussian").
library_size_vec: Either NA or a length-\(n\) vector of numerics
tol: Small positive value to determine the smallest possible value in the output matrix, useful for only family = "curved_gaussian".
