Rcpp_modelobject-class {synMicrodata}

Class "Rcpp_modelobject"

Description

This class implements a joint modeling approach to generate synthetic microdata with continuous and categorical variables with possibly missing values. The method builds on the work of Murray and Reiter (2016)

Details

Rcpp_modelobject should be created with createModel. Please see the example below.

Extends

Class "C++Object", directly.

Fields

• data_obj input dataset generated from readData.

Methods

• multipleSyn generates synthetic micro datasets.

Examples

## preparing to generate synthetic datsets
dat_obj <- readData(Y_input = iris[,1:4],
                    X_input = data.frame(Species = iris[,5]))
mod_obj <- createModel(dat_obj, max_R_S_K=c(30,50,20))

## generating synthetic datasets
res_obj <- multipleSyn(dat_obj, mod_obj, n_burnin = 100, m = 5, 
                       interval_btw_Syn = 50, show_iter = FALSE)

print(res_obj)
