The function implements the algorithm proposed by Emrich and Piedmonte (1991) to generate a random sample of d (=length(p)) correlated binary variables. The sample is generated based on given marginal probabilities p of the d variables and their correlation matrix R. The algorithm generates first determines an appropriate correlation matrix R' for the multivariate normal distribution. Next, a sample is drawn from N_d(0, R') and each variable is finnaly dichotomized with respect to p.
Sample (n x p)-matrix with representing a random sample of size n from the specified multivariate binary distribution.
