R: Generates multivariate ordinal data from binary parameters

genOrd

R Documentation

Generates multivariate ordinal data from binary parameters

Description

Generates multivariate ordinal data from the ordinal marginal probabilities and a list returned by the simBinCorr function.

Usage

genOrd(nObs, ordPmat, binObj)

Arguments

`nObs`	Number of rows
`ordPmat`	Input matrix of ordinal marginal probabilities
`binObj`	A list returned by the `simBinCorr`

Details

It generates multivariate ordinal data. The argument binObj must be calculated using simBinCorr before executing this function.

Value

Mydata

A list with two components. Two components are a matrix of multivariate ordinal data (y) and its correlation matrix (Corr)

Examples

## Not run: ordPmat1 = matrix( c(0.15,0.70,0.40,
					0.55,0.10,0.25,
					0.25,0.10,0.15,
					0.05,0.10,0.20),4,3,byrow=TRUE)
## End(Not run)
## Not run: cmat1= matrix( 	c(1,0.2,0.2,
				0.2,1,0.2,
				0.2,0.2,1),3,3,byrow=TRUE) 
## End(Not run)
## Not run: binObj=simBinCorr(ordPmat1, cmat1, nSim=100000, steps=0.025)		
## Not run: myData = genOrd( 1000, ordPmat1, binObj)
