Overview

About

Maintained by Zobaer AhmedCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Generate privacy-preserving synthetic datasets that mirror structure, types, factor levels, and missingness; export bundles for 'LLM' workflows (data plus 'JSON' schema and guidance); and build fake data directly from 'SQL' database tables without reading real rows. Methods are related to approaches in Nowok, Raab and Dibben (2016) doi:10.32614/RJ-2016-019 and the foundation-model overview by Bommasani et al. (2021) doi:10.48550/arXiv.2108.07258.

Changes in 0.2.2

CRAN resubmission:
Replaced arXiv URL with arXiv DOI (doi:10.48550/arXiv.2108.07258).
Ensured software/API names are in single quotes (e.g., 'SQL', 'LLM').
Expanded acronym in Title (“LLM = Large Language Model”).
Documentation tidy-ups:
Added \value{} to generate_fake_from_schema() and clarified return classes.
Minor wording/typo fixes across vignettes and Rd files.
CI/docs:
Fixed pkgdown workflow and GitHub Pages settings.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("FakeDataR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("zobaer09/FakeDataR")

Development version from zobaer09/FakeDataR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-fakedatar

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-FakeDataR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-FakeDataR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
