title: 'simulab: Simulates a Wide Variety of Data Shapes, Sizes and Distributions'
version: 0.4.10
abstract: 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.
