Yes, the function farimaSim() is bogous, pretty obviously if you look
at it. 

I've wondered for a while if we (R developers) shouldn't
improve "R CMD check" so as to require that every exported
function in a package must have at least one running example.
For the farimaSim(), there is no call possible without an error
message.

Package 'fracdiff', though much older,  has a working
fracdiff.sim() function.
