synthesis: Synthetic data generator

Generate synthetic time series from commonly used statistical models, including linear, nonlinear and chaotic systems. Applications to testing methods can be found in Jiang, Z., Sharma, A., & Johnson, F. (2019) and Jiang, Z., Sharma, A., & Johnson, F. (2020) associated with an open-source tool by Jiang, Z., Rashid, M. M., Johnson, F., & Sharma, A. (2020) .

It can be used for variable selection, prediction, and classification and clustering problem generation.
