noiseInjector.unif {GROAN}

Inject Uniform Noise

Description

This function adds to the passed phenotypes array noise sampled from a uniform distribution with the specified range.
The function can interest the totality of the passed phenotype array or a random subset of it (commanded by subset parameter).

Usage

noiseInjector.unif(phenotypes, min = 0, max = 1, subset = 1)

Arguments

phenotypes

an array of numbers.

min, max

lower and upper limits of the distribution. Must be finite.

subset

integer in [0,1], the proportion of original dataset to be injected

Value

An array, of the same size as phenotypes, where uniform noise has been added to the original phenotype values.

Examples

#a sinusoid signal
phenos = sin(seq(0,5, 0.1))
plot(phenos, type='p', pch = 16, main='Original (black) vs. Injected (red), 100% affected')

#adding normal noise to all samples
phenos.noise = noiseInjector.unif(phenos, min=0.1, max=0.3)
points(phenos.noise, type='p', col='red')

#adding noise only to 30% of the samples
plot(phenos, type='p', pch = 16, main='Original (black) vs. Injected (red), 30% affected')
phenos.noise.subset = noiseInjector.unif(phenos, min=0.1, max=0.3, subset = 0.3)
points(phenos.noise.subset, type='p', col='red')
