sim.norm

Simulates data from normal distributions given specified parameters.

Provides tools for generating and analyzing simulation studies. Users may easily specify all terms of a simulation study, often in a single line of code. Common univariate and bivariate methods, such as t tests, proportions tests, and chi squared tests, are integrated. Multivariate studies involving linear or logistic regression may also be specified with symbolic inputs. The simulation studies generate data for n observations in each of B experiments. Analyses of each experiment are integrated, and empirical results across the experiments are also provided.
