This function generates 30 random walks with 100 steps each and pivots the result into a long format tibble.

Details

The function generates random walks using the normal distribution with a specified mean (mu) and standard deviation (sd). Each walk is generated independently and stored in a tibble. The resulting tibble is then pivoted into a long format for easier analysis.

Examples
