Abstract:

Several statisticians in statistical agencies and academia are developing partially synthetic public use data. These comprise the original units in the sample with some values, such as key identifiers or sensitive attributes, replaced with multiple imputations. This panel comprises experts who have led efforts to create partially synthetic datasets for genuine, large surveys. The panel will discuss their experiences generating synthetic data, focusing on how to implement the approach in practice.
