Publication number: 20240160698Abstract: System and methods for generating synthetic data according to a plurality of options are provided. According to a first option, synthetic data is generated based on an indication of one or more target distributions. According to a second option, a one or more target distributions are determined based on a sample data set, and synthetic data is generated based on the determined target distribution(s). According to a third option, a temporary synthetic data set is generated based on an indication of one or more target distributions, matches between the temporary synthetic data set and a sample data set are then identified, and a synthetic data set is then generated based on the identified matches. A system may automatically determine which option to leverage based on whether a user provides a sample data set, one or more target distributions, or both.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2022Publication date: May 16, 2024Applicant: PwC Product Sales LLCInventors: Zhen QI, Mansi ARORA, Bo LI, Yifeng WANG, Samuel Pierce BURNS, Joseph David VOYLES, Anand Srinivasa RAO
