A new version of the R package ‘synthpop’ (1.1-0) – developed by the SLS-DSU team for generating synthetic versions of sensitive microdata for statistical disclosure control – is now available on CRAN. There have been a few improvements and bug fixes which are described in the NEWS file.

Please note that period.separated or alllowercase naming convention has been adopted and you will have to update some parameter names in your code in case you are using them (see the NEWS file). If you are new to the package, you might want to read an updated vignette with a worked example.

See our Guides and Resources section for more information on Synthetic LS data.
