An R package which allows data to be simulation from marginal distributions obtained from Trusted Research Environments (TREs).
Installation
CRAN
The latest release of this package can be installed from CRAN:

Devtools
install.packages("devtools")

Trusted Research Environments (TRE’s)
There are two main functions:
get_marginal_distributions()
This function will get the marginal distributions and store them in an R object. See the documentation on exporting marginal distributions for further information.
export_marginal_distributions()
This function will export the marginal distributions to csv files. See the documentation on exporting marginal distributions for further information.
End Users
Once you have obtained the marginal distributions from a TRE, you can import them and simulated data using the following functions:
import_marginal_distributions()
This function will import the marginal distributions from the csv files provided by a TRE and store them in an R object. See the documentation on importing marginal distributions for further information.
synthesise_data()
This function will synthesise data based on the imported marginal distributions. See the documentation on synthesising data for further information.
