celltype | Cell types as labels of example scRNA-seq dataset(exprdata)
celltype_toy | toy cell type vector with 3 cell types generated for 5 cells in toy dataset
diagnose | Perform diagnoisis of dispersion on the expression profile to check whether scBFA works on specific dataset
disperPlot | Reference dataset(disperPlot)
exprdata | scRNA-seq dataset(exprdata)
getGeneExpr | Function to extract gene expression matrix from input observation matrix
getLoading | Function to get low dimensional loading matrix
getScore | Function to get low dimensional embedding matrix
gradient | Calculate gradient of the negative log likelihood, used for calls to the optim() function.
gradient_chunk | Calculate gradient of the negative log likelihood, used for calls to the optim() function.
scBFA | Perform BFA model on the expression profile
scNoiseSim | simulation to generate scRNA-seq data with varying level of gene detection noise versus gene count noise
