make_synthetic_data

<code>make_synthetic_data()</code> outputs a synthetic survey, generated using a simple, stochastic
model of polarisation.

A tool for computing network representations of attitudes,
extracted from tabular data such as sociological surveys. Development of
surveygraph software and training materials was initially funded by the
European Union under the ERC Proof-of-concept programme (ERC,
Attitude-Maps-4-All, project number: 101069264). Views and opinions expressed
are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those
of the European Union or the European Research Council Executive Agency.
Neither the European Union nor the granting authority can be held responsible
for them.
