A framework for performing simulations such as those common in
    methodological statistics papers.  The design principles of this package
    are described in greater depth in Bien, J. (2016) "The simulator: An Engine
    to Streamline Simulations," which is available at <arXiv:1607.00021>.

This is an R implementation of a constrained l1 minimization approach for estimating multiple Sparse Gaussian or Nonparanormal Graphical Models (SIMULE). The SIMULE algorithm can be used to estimate multiple related precision matrices. For instance, it can identify context-specific gene networks from multi-context gene expression datasets. By performing data-driven network inference from high-dimensional and heterogenous data sets, this tool can help users effectively translate aggregated data into knowledge that take the form of graphs among entities. Please run demo(simuleDemo) to learn the basic functions provided by this package.

Tools to simulate realistic raw case data for an epidemic in
    the form of line lists and contacts using a branching process.
    Simulated outbreaks are parameterised with epidemiological parameters
    and can have age-structured populations, age-stratified
    hospitalisation and death risk and time-varying case fatality risk.

Simulate genotypes in SNP (single nucleotide polymorphisms) Matrix as random numbers from an uniform distribution, for diploid organisms (coded by 0, 1, 2), Sikorska et al., (2013) <doi:10.1186/1471-2105-14-166>, or half-sib/full-sib SNP matrix from real or simulated parents SNP data, assuming mendelian segregation. Simulate phenotypic traits for real or simulated SNP data, controlled by a specific number of quantitative trait loci  and their effects, sampled from a Normal or an Uniform distributions, assuming a pure additive model. This is useful for testing association and genomic prediction models or for educational purposes.
