sdcMicro: Statistical Disclosure Control Methods for Anonymization of Data and Risk Estimation

Data from statistical agencies and other institutions are mostly confidential. This package, introduced in Templ, Kowarik and Meindl (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v067.i04>, can be used for the generation of anonymized (micro)data, i.e. for the creation of public- and scientific-use files. The theoretical basis for the methods implemented can be found in Templ (2017) <doi:10.1007/978-3-319-50272-4>. Various risk estimation and anonymization methods are included. Note that the package includes a graphical user interface published in Meindl and Templ (2019) <doi:10.3390/a12090191> that allows to use various methods of this package.
