Outputs a synthetic survey using a simple model — make_synthetic_data • surveygraph

make_synthetic_data() outputs a synthetic survey, generated using a simple, stochastic model of polarisation.

Usage

make_synthetic_data(
  nrow,
  ncol,
  minority = NULL,
  correlation = NULL,
  polarisation = NULL,
  likert = NULL,
  seed = NULL,
  ...
)

Arguments

nrow: The number of rows in the survey
ncol: The number of columns in the survey
minority: The fraction of nodes in the smaller of the two polarised groups
correlation: Probability that group item corresponds to polarisation
polarisation: The degree of polarisation among the system's agents
likert: Range of the Likert scale
seed: Seed value for random number generation.
...: Mostly used to handle arguments with alternative spellings.

Value

A data frame corresponding to a survey.

Examples

S <- make_synthetic_data(200, 8)
