Learn how to create synthetic data

The workshop will discuss the use of synthetic data for disclosure control. It will include discussions of what and how synthetic data can be used. Differen5t types of synthetic data will be discussed. A practical session on how to create low-fidelity synthetic data using the R package synthpop, will be included in the workshop and participants will be guided as to how they might proceed to create synthetic data with greater utility. The workshop will also include discussions of how to assess synthetic data for utility and disclosure control. We will also review examples of cases where synthetic data has been released to the public. If a full day were available we could also do an afternoon session on how to create high fidekity synthetic data
