Synthesising Multiple Linked Data Sets and Sequences in R

In my last post I looked at generating synthetic data sets with the'synthpop' package, some of the challenges and neat things the package can do. It is simple to use which is great when you have a single data set with independent features. This post will build on the last post by tackling other complications when attempting to synthesise data. These challenges occur regularly in practice and this post will offer a couple of solutions, but there are plenty more. I'll detail how more complex synthesis can be done using synthpop.
