Abstract:
We explain how to simulate both univariate and bivariate raw data sets having specified values for common summary statistics. The first example illustrates how to 'construct' a data set having prescribed values for the mean and the standard deviation - for a one-sample t test with a specified outcome. The second shows how to create a bivariate data set with a specified correlation coefficient.
