In jknowles/datasynthR: Generate synthetic data with known properties, on demand.

Description

Allow user to draw from a uniform distribution correlated with a user specified vector

Usage

runifcor.cor(x, rho)

Arguments

x	variable to draw from
rho	correlation coefficient between x and result of function

Details

Rough estimate

Value

a vector of the same length as x drawn from a normal distribution correlated with x at the level of rho

Note

runif only works coming from uniform data
