simcor {correlatio} | R Documentation |
Simulate two correlated variables.
Description
Simulate pairs of variables with a predefined correlation between them.
Usage
simcor(obs = 100, rhos = c(-0.5, 0.5))
Arguments
obs |
A single integer that determines the number of simulated observations in each of the pair of variables. |
rhos |
A vector with at least one value that shows the theoretical correlation between the simulated pair of variables. |
Value
a list with as many data.frames (each consisting of two columns) as there are values passed to the function argument 'rhos'.

Examples
# Simulate a list with two data.frames. The first one contains variables that are correlated
# around -.8, the second one around .7. Both data.frames contain 200 observations.
simcor(obs = 200, rhos = c(-.8, .7))
