In this chapter, we will explore how to generate synthetic data using the R programming language. We’ll start by looking at some of the basic functions used to generate synthetic data. Next, we’ll look at how to construct a value vector from a known univariate distribution. Next, we’ll look at how to construct a vector from a multi-level categorical variable. We will look at how to build a neural network in R using the nnet package. We will give ...
