The simglm package has an update on CRAN bumping the version up to 0.6.0. This update has added the ability to simulate count data (poisson) and also has fixed (I think) the Shiny app that comes with the package. As I have not posted about this package since the first CRAN release (v 0.5.0), I plan to give an overview of all that the package offers in addition to the new additions.
This is a quick note looking for any further feedback on the simglm package prior to CRAN submission later this week. The goal is to submit Thursday or Friday this week. The last few documentation finishing touches are happening now working toward a version 0.5.0 release on CRAN.
For those who have not seen this package yet, the aim is to simulate regression models (single level and multilevel models) as well as employ empirical power analyses based on Monte Carlo simulation.
Markdown (and Rmarkdown) are great ways to quickly develop material without worrying about the formatting. The documents can then be compiled using the knitr or rmarkdown packages to output formats such as HTML, latex, or even word. The main drawback of this approach is that formatting of documents is limited to italics, bold, or strikethrough. Markdown does have support for inline HTML, therefore you can add your own formatting inline using CSS or other HTML attributes, however this moves away from the quick markdown flavor.
