Usage

simDat4(n = 10, mean = 600, sd = 30)

Arguments

n	The sample size
mean	Population mean
sd	Population standard deviation

Value

A list of simulated data and parameters.

n	Sample size
mean	Population mean
sd	Population SD
y	Simulated peregrine mass measurements

Examples

str(dat <- simDat4())          # Implicit default arguments
str(dat <- simDat4(n = 10^6))  # More than the world population of peregrines
str(dat <- simDat4(n = 10, mean = 900, sd = 40))  # Simulate 10 female peregrines
