We developed the R package SimCorMultRes to facilitate simulation of correlated categori cal (binary and multinomial) responses under a desired marginal model specification. The simulated correlated categorical responses are obtained by applying threshold approaches to correlated contin uous responses of underlying regression models and the dependence structure is parametrized in terms of the correlation matrix of the latent continuous responses. This article provides an elaborate introduction to the SimCorMultRes package demonstrating its design and usage via three examples. The package can be obtained via CRAN.
