Simulates values of the dependent variable based on a model fit

This function is generic; method functions can be written to handle specific classes of objects.

simulateY(object, nsim = 1, seed = NULL, ...,
    verbose = FALSE, sigma)

Arguments

object: an object with a model fit for which dependent variable is to be simulated.
nsim: number of simulations. nsim = 1 by default.
seed: integer scalar used to initiate random numbers generator.
...: some methods for this generic function may require additional arguments.
verbose: logical. If TRUE basic information about arguments is provided. By default set to FALSE.
sigma: numeric scalar. Allows to perform simulations employing alternative value of the scale parameter.

numeric matrix. Number of columns determined by nsim argument.
