title: 'cellsynth: Cell-Wise Synthetic Copies of De-Identified Tables'
version: 0.1.0
abstract: Turns de-identified tables ('Excel' workbooks or delimited text files) into
  synthetic counterparts with the same layout, the same identifiers and the same data-entry
  quirks. Every non-identifier cell, missingness included, is censored once per sweep
  and redrawn by copying the raw value of a donor drawn from a classification and
  regression tree leaf fitted on the rest of the table, in the spirit of the sequential
  tree-based synthesis of Reiter (2005) "Using CART to generate partially synthetic
  public use microdata", Journal of Official Statistics 21(3):441-462, and Nowok,
  Raab and Dibben (2016) <https://doi.org/10.18637/jss.v074.i11>. Identifiers are
  kept so that tables stay joinable, and columns of other tables can condition the
  synthesis so cross-table associations survive a later join. Synthetic copies are
  intended for developing and testing analysis code; they are not an anonymisation
  method.
