simdata: An R package to create simulated datasets

This package provides lightweight and easy-to-use data generating mechanisms for statistical simulation studies.

Installation

install.packages("simdata")

# Alternatively, install the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("matherealize/simdata")

# to also build vignettes locally use
# devtools::install_github("matherealize/simdata", build_vignettes = TRUE)

In case you encounter an http 401 error during installation from GitHub, this is not due to the package itself, but due to rate limits set by GitHub. Please refer to these steps from the remotes Github repository to resolve the issue.

Usage

Please take a look at the package vignettes:

Status and future plans

The package is in active development, but is already used in several simulation studies. We plan to provide a library of data generators for interesting real-world dataset in upcoming versions of the package.
