## Generate correlated variables

### Description

Generate correlated variables using a vector of know values and desired maximum and minimum correlations

### Usage

correlated_vars(
y,
min_cor = -1,
max_cor = 1,
nvars,
constant = NULL,
operation = "*",
x = NULL
)


### Arguments

 y A vector to generate variables correlated with. min_cor The minimum desired correlation. max_cor The maximum desired correlation. nvars The number of variables. constant A constant. Use operation to define which operation is used. operation The operation to be applied to the constant value. x An optional vector of the same length of y. If not informed (default) then a normally distributed variable (mean = 0, sd = 1) will be used.

### Value

A data frame with the y variable and the correlated variables.
