GENERATING SYNTHETIC UNIT-RECORD DATA FROM PUBLISHED MARGINAL TABLES
Alan Lee · 2007
SUMMARY. We survey methods for generating synthetic data sets without making use of unit-record data. The methods we describe are based on creating data sets which match publically available marginal tables. We describe a set of R functions which implement the methods under study, and apply the methods to data from the 2001 Census of Population and Dwellings.
