faux 1.2.1.9001 (2023-07-07)

  • Fixed a bug in interactive_design() that didn’t allow mu, sd or r with more than 0.1 accuracy, and gave incorrect error messages for r specifications with more than 1 value.

faux 0.0.1.64 (2021-03-19)

  • sim_design() should no longer mangle level values in long format if they have underscores
  • sim_design() should play better with different separator. FOr example, if you set faux_options(sep = ".") and have within-subject factors A and B with levels A_1/A_2 and B_1/B_2, your wide data will have columns A_1.B_1, A_1.B_2, A_2.B_1, A_2.B_2

faux 0.0.1.63 (2021-03-14)

  • fixed bug in sim_design() where parameters specified as a named vector couldn’t be in a different order unless both between and within factors were specified (e.g., mu = c(A2 = 2, A1 = 1) resulted in a mu of 2 for A1 and 1 for A2).

faux 0.0.1.62 (2021-03-13)

  • new sim_joint_dist() function to simulate the joint distribution of categories
  • sim_df() no longer breaks if there are NAs in the DV columns
  • sim_df() now has an option to include missing data, it simulates the joint distribution of missingness for each between-subject cell
  • some functions (sim_df() and messy()) can choose columns with unquoted names now (e.g., messy(mtcars, .5, mpg))
  • messy() now takes a vector of proportions so you can simulate different amounts of missing data per selected column
  • sample_from_pop() is now vectorised

faux 0.0.1.61 (2021-02-06)

  • get_params() doesn’t require within and between set for data made with faux (that has a “design” attribute)

  • this version isn’t on CRAN yet
