umx (version 1.2.5)

umx_fake_data: umx_fake_data

Description

This function takes as argument an existing dataset, which must be either a matrix or a data frame. Each column of the dataset must consist either of numeric variables or ordered factors. When one or more ordered factors are included, then a heterogeneous correlation matrix is computed using John Fox's polycor package. Pairwise complete observations are used for all covariances, and the exact pattern of missing data present in the input is placed in the output, provided a new sample size is not requested. Warnings from the polycor::hetcor function are suppressed.

Usage

umx_fake_data(dataset, digits = 2, n = NA, use.names = TRUE,
  use.levels = TRUE, use.miss = TRUE, mvt.method = "eigen",
  het.ML = FALSE, het.suppress = TRUE)
