Synthetic data

What does Synthetic data?

Synthetic data are artificially generated data that mimic the structure and statistical properties of real data. A synthetic dataset has the same mathematical properties as the real data on which it is based. However, it does not contain any actual information about individuals. Synthetic data are used primarily in cases where there is insufficient valid data or where existing original data cannot be used directly for data protection reasons. Synthetic data are created with the help of algorithms or models based on existing data.

Practical example

For statistical analysis, personal data anonymized to the extent that they can no longer be linked to a specific person.
