Synthetic data are generated from the original (observed) data by the function
syn
. The package includes also tools to compare synthetic data with the
observed data (compare.synds
) and to fit (generalized) linear model to
synthetic data (lm.synds
, glm.synds
) and compare the estimates
with those for the observed data (compare.fit.synds
). More extensive
documentation with illustrative examples is provided in the package vignette.
