simulate.manyglm function

Simulate from manyglm objects

Simulates new responses for a manyglm object.

## S3 method for class 'manyglm'
simulate(object, nsim = 1, seed = NULL, newdata = object$data, ...)

Arguments

• object: a manyglm object from the mvabund package.
• nsim: number of simulated datasets to generate.
• seed: a seed for random number generation (defaults to NULL)
• newdata: a new dataset with predictors to simulate new values for. Defaults to data model was fitted to.
• ...: additional optional arguments.

Returns

Simulates a data frame of new values for responses. If multiple datasets are requested, these are stacked one under the other (see example(simulate.cord).

Details

Returns a data frame containing the response and predictors. This function just calls simulate.cord

from the ecoCopula package, on a cord object constructed under default settings -- that is, it fits a copula latent variable model with two latent variables, then uses this to simulate new data.
