In bayesiandemography/simbirths: Simulated Data on Births

#' Simulated data on age-specific birth rates, with level perturbed.
#'
#' Simulated birth rates for 5-year age groups, 30 regions, and 3 time periods,
#' with rates in regions 25-30 during period 3 being drawn from a distribution
#' with the same age-profile as other region-time combinations,
#' but a level 20 percent higher.
#'
#' The rates were obtained by taking age-specific fertility rates for
#' New Zealand in 2006,  multiplying by random region and time effects,
#' and then perturbing rates in regions 25-30 during period 3.
#'
#' @format  An array with dimensions \code{"age"}, \code{"region"},
