“…In some cases, agencies may generate fully synthetic data (Rubin, 1993;Reiter, 2002Reiter, , 2005Raghunathan et al, 2003;Quick et al, 2014), in which the released datasets are comprised entirely of simulated records. We, however, take a partially synthetic approach in which only a collection of values/variables are replaced with imputed values (Little, 1993;Kennickell, 1997;Abowd and Woodcock, 2004;Reiter, 2003Reiter, , 2004An and Little, 2007;Toth, 2014). Specifically, we assume the data consist of exact geographic locations and covariate information for each individual, as well as a continuously varying response which will be multiply imputed.…”
