Characteristics & usage

This package is designed for simulating real life datasets:

• some datasets follow the tidy-data principles, others don’t.
• Some missing values are set for numeric and categorical variables
• Some variables values are correlated

Supported languages are, for now, French and US English.

See the Vignette for examples.
