generate_response function

Simulate response variable

generate_response(data, sim_args, keep_intermediate = TRUE, ...)

Arguments

• data: Data simulated from other functions to pass to this function.

• sim_args: A named list with special model formula syntax. See details and examples for more information. The named list may contain the following:

  • fixed: This is the fixed portion of the model (i.e. covariates)
  • random: This is the random portion of the model (i.e. random effects)
  • error: This is the error (i.e. residual term).

• keep_intermediate: TRUE/FALSE flag indicating whether intermediate steps should be kept. This would include fixed effects times regression weights, random effect summations, etc. Default is TRUE.

• ...: Other arguments to pass to error simulation functions.
