In this workshop, Lisa DeBruine will show how you can use R to conduct simulations.
This session will cover the basics of simulation using the R package faux. We will simulate data with factorial designs by specifying the within and between-subjects factor structure, each cell mean and standard deviation, and correlations between cells where appropriate. This can be used to create simulated data sets to be used in preparing the analysis code for pre-registrations or registered reports. We will also create data sets for simulation-based power analyses. Participants will need to have very basic knowledge of R and R Markdown, and have installed faux, afex, broom and tidyverse.
