rmulti() that assigned correlations to the wrong pairs with
more than 3 variables (thanks @yann1cks!) 
- Made 
rmulti() more efficient by skipping adjusted r
simulation for normal-normal pairs 
- Added 
nbinom2norm() conversion function, but not sure
it works right unless you set size and prob
manually (produces a warning if you don’t) 
faux 1.2.1.9001 (2023-07-07)
- Fixed a bug in 
interactive_design() that didn’t allow
mu, sd or r with more than 0.1 accuracy, and gave incorrect error
messages for r specifications with more than 1 value.

faux 0.0.1.64 (2021-03-19)
sim_design() should no longer mangle level values in
long format if they have underscores 
sim_design() should play better with different
separator. FOr example, if you set faux_options(sep = ".")
and have within-subject factors A and B with levels A_1/A_2 and B_1/B_2,
your wide data will have columns A_1.B_1, A_1.B_2, A_2.B_1, A_2.B_2 
faux 0.0.1.63 (2021-03-14)
- fixed bug in 
sim_design() where parameters specified as
a named vector couldn’t be in a different order unless both between and
within factors were specified (e.g., mu = c(A2 = 2, A1 = 1)
resulted in a mu of 2 for A1 and 1 for A2).

sim_joint_dist() function to simulate the joint
distribution of categories

columns

simulates the joint distribution of missingness for each between-subject
cell 
- some functions (
sim_df() and messy()) can
choose columns with unquoted names now (e.g.,
messy(mtcars, .5, mpg)) 
messy() now takes a vector of proportions so you can
simulate different amounts of missing data per selected column 
sample_from_pop() is now vectorised 
faux 0.0.1.61 (2021-02-06)
get_params() doesn’t require within and between set for
data made with faux (that has a “design” attribute) 
- fixed bug in 
get_params() where the var column was
alphabetised, but the corresponding columns for the correlation table
were in factor order 
- several new distribution conversion functions and a vignette
 
- this version isn’t on CRAN yet
 
faux 0.0.1.6 (2021-01-05)
nested_list() updated to match scienceverse version and
handle edge cases better

- Setting seed doesn’t change the seed in your global environment
 
- Plot labels for dv and id (set them like
dv = list(colname = "Name for Plots")) 
faux 0.0.0.9011 (2019-05-19)
- Changed default DV column name from ‘val’ to ‘y’
 
- Changed default ID column name from ‘sub_id’ to ‘id’
