fabricatr: Tidyverse-First Data Fabrication

Helps you imagine your data before you collect it. Builds a data frame one column at a time, with hierarchical levels, cross-classified levels, potential outcomes, and draws with a target intra-cluster correlation, so that a research design can be simulated and diagnosed before any data exist. Version 2.0 is a rewrite of the same public API on 'dplyr', 'tibble', 'purrr', and 'rlang'.

Depends: R (≥ 4.1.0)
Imports: dplyr (≥ 1.1.0), tibble, purrr, rlang, stats, utils
