Abstract:

In this talk, we discuss how multiply-imputed, synthetic data can be used to maintain confidentiality when releasing microdata. We describe the synthesis of a business establishment database. The database includes many challenging variables to synthesize, including longitudinal data and skewed distributions. We focus on the analytic validity of the synthetic datasets.
