Generate multi-factorial data
genMultiFac(
nFactors,
each,
levels = 2,
coding = "dummy",
colNames = NULL,
idName = "id"
)Number of factors (columns) to generate.
Number of replications for each combination of factors. Must be specified.
Vector or scalar. If a vector is specified, it must be the same length as nFatctors. Each value of the vector represents the number of levels of each corresponding factor. If a scalar is specified, each factor will have the same number of levels. The default is 2 levels for each factor.
String value to specify if "dummy" or "effect" coding is used. Defaults to "dummy".
A vector of strings, with a length of nFactors. The strings represent the name for each factor.
A string that specifies the id of the record. Defaults to "id".
A data.table that contains the added simulated data. Each column contains an integer.
