Description

Provides a streamlined and user-friendly framework for simulating data in state space models, particularly when the number of subjects/units (n) exceeds one, a scenario commonly encountered in social and behavioral sciences. This package was designed to generate data for the simulations performed in Pesigan, Russell, and Chow (2025: https://doi.org/10.1037/met0000779).

Installation

You can install the CRAN release of simStateSpace with:

install.packages("simStateSpace")

You can install the development version of simStateSpace from GitHub with:

if (!require("remotes")) install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("jeksterslab/simStateSpace")

More Information
