mkSimulateTemplate {lme4} | R Documentation

## Make templates suitable for guiding mixed model simulations

### Description

Make data and parameter templates suitable for guiding mixed model simulations, by specifying a model formula and other information (EXPERIMENTAL). Most useful for simulating balanced designs and for getting started on unbalanced simulations.

### Usage

    mkParsTemplate(formula, data)
    mkDataTemplate(formula, data, nGrps = 2, nPerGrp = 1, rfunc = NULL, ...)

### Arguments

`formula` | A mixed model formula (see `lmer`).
`data` | A data frame containing the names in `formula`.
`nGrps` | Number of levels of a grouping factor.
`nPerGrp` | Number of observations per level.
`rfunc` | Function for generating covariate data (e.g. `rnorm`.
`...` | Additional parameters for `rfunc`.

### See Also

These functions are designed to be used with `simulate.merMod`.
