Simulates a number of individuals tagged in N different categories, given a distribution such as log normal or normal.

Usage

sim_individuals(n_categ, size, category_prefix = "", type = "log-normal",
  mean = 0, sd = 1)

Arguments

n_categ	number of categories
size	number of individuals.
category_prefix	a prefix to be used as part of the category label
type	distribution name. The distribution is used to simulate how individuals are created. Use 'log-normal' for log normal distribution or 'normal' for normal distribution. Default value is 'log-normal'
mean	parameter for normal or log-normal distribution. Default value is 0.
sd	parameter for normal or log-normal distribution. Default value is 1.

Value

A vector of category labels.

Examples

sim_individuals(n_categ=50, size=10000, type='log-normal', mean=0.507, sd=1.183)
