Simulating Correlated Multinomial Responses

Description

Functions to simulate correlated multinomial responses (three or more nominal or ordinal response categories) and correlated binary responses subject to a marginal model specification.

Details

The simulated correlated binary or multinomial responses are drawn as realizations of a latent regression model for continuous random vectors with the correlation structure expressed in terms of the latent correlation.

For an ordinal response scale, the multinomial variables are simulated conditional on a marginal cumulative link model (rmult.clm), a marginal continuation-ratio model (rmult.crm) or a marginal adjacent-category logit model (rmult.acl).

For a nominal response scale, the multinomial responses are simulated conditional on a marginal baseline-category logit model (rmult.bcl).

Correlated binary responses are simulated using the function rbin.

The threshold approaches that give rise to the implemented marginal models are fully described in Touloumis (2016) and in the Vignette.

The formulae are easier to read from either the Vignette or the Reference Manual (both available here).
