The TCRN recently collaborated with researchers from the NCRN node at the Unviersity of Missouri on methods for generating public use data files with synthetic point-referenced geographies and attributes. The methodology offers a new way for statistical agencies to disseminate data with fine-geographic
resolution, such as latitude and longitude, while limiting the risks of unintended disclosures. A paper describing the methodology will appear in the journal, Spatial Statistics.  A link to the arXiv version is on the “Papers” page of the TCRN website.
