latentFactoR (version 0.0.9)

Data Simulation Based on Latent Factors

Description

Generates data based on latent factor models. Data can be continuous, polytomous, dichotomous, or mixed. Skews, cross-loadings, wording effects, population errors, and local dependencies can be added. All parameters can be manipulated. Data categorization is based on Garrido, Abad, and Ponsoda (2011) .
