Generates random log response ratios and their variances (Hedges et al. 1999). NOTE: samples from a log-normal distribution to generate non-negative control and treatment means (following Lajeunesse 2015).

|
K |
Number of effect sizes to generate. |
X_t |
The population mean (mu) of the (t)reatment group (numerator of ratio). |
var_t |
The population variance of the treatment group mean. |
N_t |
The number of samples of the treatment mean. When a non-negative integer, all treatment means will be estimated using the same N. A vector of unequal N's can also be taken; if so, K will be ignored and the number of randomly generated means will equal the length of that vector, and each mean will be based on each N within the vector. |
X_c |
The population mean (mu) of the (c)ontrol group (denominator of ratio). |
var_c |
The population variance of the control group mean. |
N_c |
The number of samples of the control mean. When a non-negative integer, all control means will be estimated using the same N. A vector of unequal N's can also be taken; if so, K will be ignored and the number of randomly generated means will equal the length of that vector, and each mean will be based on each N within the vector. |
