In himelmallick/MimESys: Simulate Realistic Multi-Omics Datasets with Specified Structural and Sparsity Patterns

Generate Block Dimensions Based on Dirichlet Distribution

Description

This function generates block dimensions based on the Dirichlet distribution, ensuring no block has zero size.

Usage

getBlocksDim(K, p, alpha = 2)

Arguments

K	Integer. The number of blocks.
p	Integer. The total number of elements to be distributed among the blocks.
alpha	Numeric. The concentration parameter for the Dirichlet distribution. Default is 2.

Value

Integer vector. A sorted vector of block sizes in descending order.

Examples

# Generate block dimensions for 5 blocks and 100 elements
getBlocksDim(K = 5, p = 100)
