Generate artificial dataset for demonstration and testing purposes.

Description

Generate artificial dataset for demonstration and testing purposes.

Usage

generateFakeData(
  M = 50,
  meanNarea = 1000,
  sW = 100,
  sB = 50,
  sBx = 0.5,
  samplingFraction = 0.1
)

Arguments

M	number of areas.
meanNarea	mean number of population units per area.
sW	within area standard deviation.
sB	between area standard deviation.
sBx	random slope standard deviation.
samplingFraction	sampling fraction used to draw a random sample from the population units.

Value
