GSR: Simulator - SPsimSeq

| Title | SPsimSeq |
| Short Description | SPsimSeq simulates datasets from estimated marginal distributions with Gaussian-copulas. |
| Long Description | SPsimSeq uses an exponential family for density estimation to construct distributions of gene expression levels from RNA sequencing data, thereby simulating a new dataset from marginal distributions with Gaussian-copulas in order to retain the dependence between genes. It also allows for the simulation of multiple groups and batches with any required sample size and library size. |
