The simulator is an R package that streamlines the process of performing simulations by creating a common infrastructure that can be easily used and reused across projects. The paper The Simulator: An Engine to Streamline Simulations discusses the simulator in greater depth.
The easiest way to install the simulator is by using the devtools R package (if not already installed, open R and type install.packages("devtools")
). To install simulator, type
devtools::install_github("jacobbien/simulator")
in R. This installs simulator
from github.
The Getting Started vignette walks you through setting up your first simulation with the simulator.
The best way to get a sense of how to use the simulator is to look at examples. There are several vignettes that demonstrate how the simulator can be used to conduct simulations for some of the most famous statistical methods.
