Abstract:
|
The Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics Program at the U.S. Census Bureau has developed several synthetic data products including On The Map and a partially synthetic version of the Survey of Income and Program Participation linked to SSA and IRS data. In this paper we propose quality assurance standards that statistical agencies might use for developing and supporting such products. Documentation of inference validity and its relation to the synthetic data method of confidentiality protection is an important feature of our proposal.
