LikertMakeR: Synthesise and Correlate Rating-Scale Data
Synthesise and correlate rating-scale data with
predefined first & second moments and, optionally, predefined
correlation matrix.
The function, ‘lexact()', uses the ’DEoptim'
<https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=DEoptim> package, described in
Mullen, Ardia, Gil, Windover, & Cline (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v040.i06>,
to synthesise a vector of discrete values with predefined mean and
standard deviation exact to two decimal places, if feasible.
The function, 'lfast()', draws a random sample from a _Beta_ distribution
which is rescaled to give a vector with approximate first and second moments.
It is much faster than 'lexact()' but not as precise.
The function, 'lcor()', systematically swaps values within each column of a
data-frame so that they are correlated to fit a predefined correlation matrix.
