  2. In addition to generating data from the polychoric matrix, questionnaire_gen() can also generate data from the multivariate normal distribution;
  3. The new function beta_gen() calculates the true regression coefficients for theta given the background questionnaire answers and a covariance matrix;
  4. Several ancillary functions to questionnaire_gen() and beta_gen() have been added.
  5. Unit tests have been implemented;
  6. Documentation has been updated.
