A Package For Generating Correlated Binary Data
}

\description{

correlated binary data for a given correlation matrix

The most important function is \code{ep}.  Other functions include
\code{ranMVN}, \code{ranMVN2}, and \code{ranMvnXch}.  These are used
in the \code{ep} function to generate correlated binary responses.
The user may use these functions if multivariate normal data is desired.
We note that the \code{mvtnorm} package also avails the user of functions to
generate multivariate data which may be more efficient than our mutivariate normal
functions.
