Follow us Synthetic Data Generation for Small Area Estimation
a PSC Research Project
Investigators: Trivellore Raghunathan, Joseph Walter Sakshaug
This project aims to develop and evaluate methodology to create multiple fully-synthetic micro-datasets for the purpose of performing small area estimation. We propose to use years 2004-2006 of the National Health Interview Survey as the testbed for this research with the aim of producing public-use synthetic datasets. In addition, we propose to evaluate the validity of the synthetic data approach by comparing small area estimates with the synthetic data and the observed data.
