simulateY: Simulates values of the dependent variable based on a model fit
Description
This function is generic; method functions can be written
to handle specific classes of objects.
Usage
simulateY(object, nsim = 1, seed = NULL, ...,
verbose = FALSE, sigma)Value
numeric matrix. Number of columns determined by nsim
argument.
Arguments
- object
an object with a model fit for which
dependent variable is to be simulated.
- nsim
number of simulations. nsim = 1 by default.
- seed
integer scalar used to initiate random
numbers generator.
- ...
some methods for this generic function may
require additional arguments.
- verbose
logical. If TRUE basic information about
arguments is provided. By default set to FALSE.
- sigma
numeric scalar. Allows to perform
simulations employing alternative value of the scale
parameter.
