Datasim generates correlated datasets as well, both for multivariate designs
and for correlated groups experimental designs (repeated measures,
split-plot, etc.). However, it requires that the population correlation
matrix be one that can actually arise in practice, and has no procedure for
generating a matrix as close to the user's (ill-defined) target matrix as
possible.
