Shane, Does this work?
# Your simulated data subject=1:1000 treat=rbinom(1*1000,1,.13) gender=rbinom(1*1000,1,.5) eth=runif(1*1000, min=1, max=4) cogat=rnorm(1*1000, 100, 16) map=rnorm(1*1000, 200, 9) growth=0 simtest=data.frame (subject=subject, treat=treat, gender=gender, eth=round(eth,digits=0), cogat=round(cogat,digits=0),map=round(map,digits=0),growth) simtest<-transform(simtest, growth=rnorm(1000,m=ifelse(treat==0,0.1,0.5),s=0.03)) head(simtest) # From Pablo above, but with unique() instead of levels(), since your eth is numeric, not a factor simtest.dichotomous <- outer(simtest$eth, unique(simtest$eth), "==") + 0 # Combine simtest.combined <- cbind(simtest, simtest.dichotomous) head(simtest.combined) Jeremy Jeremy Hetzel Boston University
