Generate a Synthetic CSV From a Schema Recipe — make_synthetic

Generates a reproducible synthetic data set from the schema$synthetic_recipe block of a provenance object and writes it to a CSV. Columns are produced in declaration order so later columns can reference earlier ones, a shared per-row latent propensity drives any Bernoulli columns, and an optional row-replication block expands per-person rows.

Usage

make_synthetic_csv(schema, out_path, n_rows = NULL, seed = NULL)

Arguments

schema: The synthetic recipe (a list with columns, and optional n_rows, seed, and row_replication).
out_path: Path where the CSV is written.
n_rows: Number of rows (persons, if replicating) to generate. Defaults to schema$n_rows, then 50000.
seed: Random seed for reproducibility. Defaults to schema$seed, then 91735246.

Value

Invisibly, a list with path, rows (rows written), and seed used.
