Overview

About

Maintained by Mohammed SaqrCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Generates a wide variety of data, in different shapes, sample sizes, distributions and parameters. The parameters are either drawn at random or set in advance, and in both cases they are stored with the data, so they are known and their recovery can be tested. Generators cover declared variables with treatment assignment and missing values, correlated and clustered data, latent profile, latent class, factor and item response models, longitudinal and multilevel processes, survival times with competing risks, sequences of states, and static, bipartite, multiplex, temporal and transition networks. Every generator returns batches of reproducible data sets for the evaluation of statistical methods, the testing of models and software, and teaching; simulated transition networks are native 'tna' models.

Changes in 0.4.10

Initial CRAN submission.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("simulab", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("mohsaqr/simulab")

Development version from mohsaqr/simulab. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-simulab

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-simulab

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
