   Abstract:
   Highlights: Statistical agencies can release simulated data as public use files. Nonparametric regression can be adapted to simulate such datasets. Synthesizers using CART, random forests, support vector machines were compared. CART shown to give highest data utility for acceptable disclosure risk. Nonparametric methods are easy to employ and hence appealing options for agencies. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
