Another data synthesis tool in R #3

Closed thomvolker closed 1 year ago

thomvolker commented 1 year ago

Hi all,

I stumbled upon this and think it is a great initiative. I am writing to let you know that not so long ago, @gerkovink and I wrote a paper on how one can use the R package mice to create synthetic data in R (see https://www.mdpi.com/2624-8611/3/4/45). I think it would be a good contribution to the list of tools.

Please let me know if I should use another means of communication, because an issue might not be the most suitable way of doing this.

All the best, Thom

Hi Thom,

Thanks for your suggestion! An issue is a great way to notify us of new packages! If you want you can do a pull request of the package, since you're probably better equipped than us to write a nice one-liner description in the context of synthetic data. Otherwise, let me know and I can make one myself.

Haha, I thought this issue would automatically close when merging Thom's PR but apparently not, doing it manually then. Thanks again Thom!
