I would like to produce synthetic survey data. At the moment I produce independent answers between questions according to an arbitrary discrete distribution as in this question.

I want to generate randomly and independently answers to 2 different questions with categorical responses.

I want to then generate an answer to a third question which depends on the first two answers.

How can this be done for a continuous valued case?

How can this be done for a categorical case?

I am more interested in how to do the discrete case where a new (dependent) categorical results is produced.

I am interested in any type of dependency which would show up when measuring the mutual information between question answers. Having maybe 2 or 3 category numbers.

I would like to produce synthetic survey data. At the moment I produce independent answers between questions according to a particular distribution. In real world surveys this is probably not the case, because a respondent's answer to one question may reflect his tendency to give a particular response to a further question.

How can I introduce answer dependencies in producing synthetic responses? What different types of dependencies exist? What general approaches can be used?
