createSigma

The number of variables in the correlation matrix.

nVar

The average correlation, provided to <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/rnorm?package=userfriendlyscience&version=0.7.2" data-mini-rdoc="userfriendlyscience::rnorm">rnorm</a></code> together with <code>sdR</code> to generate the correlations.

meanR

The variation in the correlations, provided to <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/rnorm?package=userfriendlyscience&version=0.7.2" data-mini-rdoc="userfriendlyscience::rnorm">rnorm</a></code> together with <code>meanR</code> to generate the correlations.

The value on the diagonal of the returned matrix: will normally be 1.

This function is made to quickly generate a Sigma matrix of the type required by <code><a rd-options="" href="/link/mvrnorm?package=userfriendlyscience&version=0.7.2" data-mini-rdoc="userfriendlyscience::mvrnorm">mvrnorm</a></code>. By specifying the number of variables, the mean correlation, and how much variation there should be in the correlations, it's easy to quickly generate a correlation matrix.

Contains a number of functions that serve
two goals. First, to make R more accessible to people migrating
from SPSS by adding a number of functions that behave roughly like
their SPSS equivalents (also see <https://rosettastats.com>). Second,
to make a number of slightly more advanced functions more user
friendly to relatively novice users. The package also conveniently
houses a number of additional functions that are intended to
increase the quality of methodology and statistics in psychology,
not by offering technical solutions, but by shifting perspectives,
for example towards reasoning based on sampling distributions as
opposed to on point estimates.
