#' @details This function uses the underlying `actuar::rparalogis()`, and its underlying
#' `p`, `d`, and `q` functions. For more information please see [actuar::rparalogis()]
#'
#' @description This function will generate `n` random points from a paralogistic
#' distribution with a user provided, `.shape`, `.rate`, `.scale` and number of
#' random simulations to be produced. The function returns a tibble with the
#' simulation number column the x column which corresponds to the n randomly
#' generated points, the `d_`, `p_` and `q_` data points as well.
#'
#' The data is returned un-grouped.
#'
#' The columns that are output are:
#'
#' -  `sim_number` The current simulation number.
#' -  `x` The current value of `n` for the current simulation.
#' -  `y` The randomly generated data point.
#' -  `dx` The `x` value from the [stats::density()] function.
#' -  `dy` The `y` value from the [stats::density()] function.
#' -  `p` The values from the resulting p_ function of the distribution family.
#' -  `q` The values from the resulting q_ function of the distribution family.
#'
#' @param .n The number of randomly generated points you want.
#' @param .shape Must be strictly positive.
#' @param .scale Must be strictly positive.
#' @param .rate An alternative way to specify the `.scale`
#' @param .num_sims The number of randomly generated simulations you want.
#' @param .return_tibble A logical value indicating whether to return the result
#' as a tibble. Default is TRUE.
