Function that simulates factor or categorical variables. Is essentially a wrapper around the sample function from base R.

sim_factor2(n, levels, var_level = 1, replace = TRUE, force_equal = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

n

A list of sample sizes.

levels

Scalar indicating the number of levels for categorical or factor variable. Can also specify levels as a character vector.

var_level

The level the variable should be simulated at. This can either be 1, 2, or 3 specifying a level 1, level 2, or level 3 variable respectively.

replace

TRUE/FALSE indicating whether levels should be sampled with replacement. Default is TRUE.

force_equal

TRUE/FALSE indicating if the sample size should be forced to be equal. Should not be used with the `replace = FALSE` argument.

...

Additional parameters passed to the sample function.
