The `sim_design()` function creates a dataset with a specific between- and within-subjects design. 

## Quick example

For example, the following creates a 2w*2b design with 100 observations in each cell. The between-subject factor is `pet` with two levels (`cat` and `dog`). The within-subject factor is `time` with two levels (`day` and `night`). 

The data is sampled from a population where the mean for the `cat_day` cell is 10, the mean for the `cat_night` cell is 20, the mean for the `dog_day` cell is 15, and the mean for the `dog_night` cell is 25. All cells have a SD of 5 and all within-subject cells are correlated <code>r = 0.5</code>. 

```{r plot-sim-design}
between <- list(pet = c(cat = "Cat Owners", 
                        dog = "Dog Owners"))
within <- list(time = c("morning", "noon", "evening", "night"))
mu <- data.frame(
  cat    = c(10, 12, 14, 16),
  dog    = c(10, 15, 20, 25),
  row.names = within$time
)
df <- sim_design(within, between, 
                 n = 100, mu = mu, sd = 5, r = .5,
                 empirical = TRUE, plot = TRUE)
```



## Specification of design parameters

### Factor and level names

#### Anonymous

If you don't feel like naming your factors and levels, you can just put in a vector of levels. So you can make a quick 2w\*3w\*2b with the following code.

```{r anon}
df <- sim_design(within = c(2,3), between = c(2), 
                 n = 10, mu = 1:12, sd = 1, r = 0.5)
```

#### List of vectors

You can specify between-subject and within-subject factors as a list of vectors where the item names are the factor labels and the vectors are the level labels.

```{r vlist}
between <- list(
  pet = c("cat", "dog")
)
within <- list(
  time = c("day", "night")
)

df <- sim_design(within, between, mu = 1:4)
```

#### Levels with underscores

In wide format, faux uses an underscore to separate level names. Therefore, any underscores in factor level names will generate an error.

```{r, error = TRUE, purl = FALSE}
# with default sep = _
within <- list(
  A = c("A_1", "A_2"),
  B = c("B_1", "B_2")
)

sim_design(within, n = 5, plot = FALSE)
```

You can change this default with `faux_options()`. 

```{r}
faux_options(sep = ".")

sim_design(within, n = 5, plot = FALSE)
```


```{r}
# put the separator back to _ for the rest of this vignette
faux_options(sep = "_")
```


#### List of named vectors/lists

You can also specify factors as a list of named vectors or lists where the item names are the factor labels, the vector names are the level labels that are used in the data table, and the vector items are the long labels for a codebook or plot.

```{r named-vectors}
between <- list(
  pet = c(cat = "Is a cat person", dog = "Is a dog person")
)
within <- list(
  time = c(day = "Tested during the day", night = "Tested at night")
)
df <- sim_design(within, between, mu = 1:4)
```

### check_design

The `check_design()` function converts this to the fully expanded version; it checks your design specification when you run `sim_design()` or you can run it on its own to create a validated design list. You can view this in JSON format using the function `json_design()`.

```{r}
design <- check_design(within, between, n = 10, 
                       mu = 1:4, sd = 1:4, r = 0.5, plot = FALSE)

json_design(design, pretty = TRUE)
```


### Specifying N

You can specify the Ns for each between-subject cell as a single number, named list, or data frame. 

#### Single number

You usually want to specify `n` as a single number. This is N per cell, not total sample size.

```{r}
n <- 20 # n per cell, not total
design <- check_design(2, c(2,2), n = n, plot = FALSE)
str(design$n)
```

#### Named list

You can also specify `n` as a named list of Ns per between-subject cell.

```{r}
n <- list(
  B1_C1 = 10, 
  B1_C2 = 20, 
  B2_C1 = 30, 
  B2_C2 = 40
)
design <- check_design(2, c(2,2), n = n, plot = FALSE)
str(design$n)
```

#### Dataframe

Or as a data frame. You just need to get the row or column names right, but they don't have to be in the right order.

```{r}
n <- data.frame(
  B2_C2 = 40,
  B1_C1 = 10, 
  B1_C2 = 20, 
  B2_C1 = 30
)
design <- check_design(2, c(2,2), n = n, plot = FALSE)
str(design$n)
```

You can specify the cells as row names or column names and `check_design()` will fix them. Since `n` **has** to be the same for each within-subject factor, you can specify n as a single column with any name.

```{r}
n <- data.frame(n = c(10, 20, 30, 40),
                row.names = c("B1_C1", "B1_C2", "B2_C1", "B2_C2"))
design <- check_design(2, c(2,2), n = n, plot = FALSE)
str(design$n)
```

### Mu and SD

The specifications for `mu` and `sd` need both within-subect and between-subject cells. You can specify these as a single numbers, a vector, a named list of named vectors or a data frame.

#### Unnamed vector

An unnamed vector is a quick way to specify means and SDs, but the order relative to your between- and within-subject cells can be confusing. 

```{r}
between <- list(pet       = c("cat", "dog"), 
                condition = c("A",   "B"))
within  <- list(time      = c("day", "night"))
mu <- c(10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80)
design <- check_design(within, between, mu = mu, plot = FALSE)
str(design$mu)
```

#### Named list of named vectors

A named list of named vectors prevents confusion due to order. The levels of the between-subject factors are the list names and the levels of the within-subject factors are the vector names, but their order doesn't matter.

```{r}
mu <- list(
  cat_B = c(night = 40, day = 30),
  cat_A = c(day = 10, night = 20),
  dog_A = c(day = 50, night = 60),
  dog_B = c(day = 70, night = 80)
)
design <- check_design(within, between, mu = mu, sd = 1, plot = FALSE)
str(design$mu)
```

Alternatively, you can specify them as data frames.

```{r}
mu <- data.frame(
  cat_A = c(10, 20),
  cat_B = c(30, 40),
  dog_A = c(50, 60),
  dog_B = c(70, 80),
  row.names = c("day", "night")
)
design <- check_design(within, between, mu = mu, plot = FALSE)
str(design$mu)
```

If you transpose the dataframe, this works out fine unless your within- and between-subject cells have identical names.

```{r}
mu <- data.frame(
  day = c(10, 30, 50, 70),
  night = c(20, 40, 60, 80),
  row.names = c("cat_A", "cat_B", "dog_A", "dog_B")
)
design <- check_design(within, between, mu = mu, plot = FALSE)
str(design$mu)
```


### Correlations

If you have any within-subject factors, you need to set the correlation for each between-cell. Here, we only have two levels of one within-subject factor, so can only set one correlation per between-cell.

```{r}
r <- list(
  cat_A = .5,
  cat_B = .5,
  dog_A = .6,
  dog_B = .4
)
design <- check_design(within, between, r = r, plot = FALSE)
design$r
```


#### Upper right triangle

If you have more than 2 within-subject cells, you can specify each specific correlation in the upper right triangle of the correlation matrix as a vector.

```{r}
r <- list(
  B1 = c(.10, .20, .30, 
              .40, .50, 
                   .60),
  B2 = c(.15, .25, .35, 
              .45, .55, 
                   .65)
)
design <- check_design(4, 2, r = r, plot = FALSE)
design$r
```

#### Correlation matrix
You can also enter the correlation matrix from `cor()`.

```{r}
within <- list(cars = c("speed", "dist"))
between <- list(half = c("first", "last"))
r <- list(
  first = cor(cars[1:25,]),
  last = cor(cars[26:50,])
)

design <- check_design(within, between, r = r, plot = FALSE)
design$r
```

### Empirical

If you set `empirical = TRUE`, you will get the *exact* means, SDs and correlations you specified. If you set `empirical = FALSE` or omit that argument, your data will be sampled from a population with those parameters, but your dataset will not have exactly those values (just on average).

```{r empirical}
between <- list(pet  = c("cat", "dog"))
within  <- list(time = c("day", "night"))
mu <- list(
  cat = c(day = 10, night = 20),
  dog = c(day = 30, night = 40)
)

sd <- list(
  cat = c(day = 5, night = 10),
  dog = c(day = 15, night = 20)
)

r <- list(cat = .5, dog = .6)

df <- sim_design(within, between, n = 100, 
                 mu = mu, sd = sd, r = r,
                 empirical = TRUE)
```

`r get_params(df, between = "pet") %>% knitr::kable()`

## More factors

Here is a 2w\*3w\*2b\*2b example. When you have multiple within or between factors, you need to specify parameters by cell. Cell names are the level names, in the order they are listed in the `within` or `between` arguments, separated by underscores. 

Foe example, if you have one within-subject factor of condition with levels `con` and `inc`, and another within-subject factor of version with levels `easy`, `med`, and `hard`, your cell labels will be: `con_easy`, `inc_easy`, `con_med`, `inc_med`, `con_hard`, and `inc_hard`.

If you have any characters in your level names except letters and numbers, they will be replaced by a full stop (e.g., `my super-good level_name` will become `my.super.good.level.name`).

```{r}
within <- list(
  condition = c(con = "Mean of congruent trials", 
                inc = "Mean of incongruent trials"),
  version = c(easy = "Easy", 
              med  = "Medium", 
              hard = "Difficult")
)

between <- list(
  experience = c(novice = "Novice", expert = "Expert"),
  time = c(day = "Before 5pm", night = "After 5pm")
)

mu <- data.frame(
  row.names = c("con_easy", "con_med", "con_hard",
                "inc_easy", "inc_med",  "inc_hard"),
  novice_day = 10:15,
  novice_night = 11:16,
  expert_day = 9:14,
  expert_night = 10:15
)
```

You can set the correlation for each between-cell to a single number.

```{r}
r <- list(
  novice_day = 0.3,
  novice_night = 0.2,
  expert_day = 0.5,
  expert_night = 0.4
)
```

Or you can set the full correlation matrix with a vector or matrix. Since we have 6 within-cells, this is a 6x6 matrix or a vector of the upper right 15 values.

```{r}
# upper right triangle correlation specification
# inc and con have r = 0.5 within each difficultly level, 0.2 otherwise
#          ce,  ie,  cm,  im,  ch,  ih
triangle <-  c(0.5, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, #con_easy
                    0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, #inc_easy
                         0.5, 0.2, 0.2, #con_med
                              0.2, 0.2, #inc_med
                                   0.5) #con_hard
                                        #inc_hard

r <- list(
  novice_day = triangle,
  novice_night = triangle,
  expert_day = triangle,
  expert_night = triangle
)
```

You can set `long = TRUE` to return the data frame in long format, which is usually easier for plotting. 

```{r}
df <- sim_design(within, between, n = 100, 
                 mu = mu, sd = 2, r = r, 
                 dv = c(rt = "Reaction Time"), 
                 plot = FALSE, long = TRUE)

head(df)
```

## Multiple datasets

You can simulate multiple datasets by setting the `rep` argument of `sim_design()` to a number greater than 1. This will return a nested data frame with one column called `rep` and another column called `data`, that contains each individual data frame. This method is ** much** faster than repeatedly calling `sim_design()`, which will check the syntax of your design each time.

The code below creates 5 data frames with a 2W*2B design.

```{r}
df <- sim_design(within = 2, between = 2, 
                 n = 50, mu = c(1, 1, 1, 1.5), 
                 sd = 1, r = 0.5, plot = FALSE, 
                 long = TRUE, rep = 5)

df
```


You can access an individual data frame using `df$data[[1]]` or run the same function on each data frame using a pattern like below:

```{r}
# using tidyverse functions
analyse <- function(data) {
  stats::aov(y ~ B * A + Error(id/A), data = data) %>% 
    broom::tidy()
}

df %>%
  dplyr::mutate(analysis = lapply(data, analyse)) %>%
  dplyr::select(-data) %>%
  tidyr::unnest(analysis)
```
