lsasim: Functions to Facilitate the Simulation of Large Scale Assessment Data

Provides functions to simulate data from large-scale educational assessments, including background questionnaire data and cognitive item responses that adhere to a multiple-matrix sampled design. The theoretical foundation can be found on Matta, T.H., Rutkowski, L., Rutkowski, D. et al. (2018) <doi:10.1186/s40536-018-0068-8>.
