Generate Multiple Margin Tables from a Synthetic Population

Creates a collection of marginal distributions from a synthetic population.

Usage

get_margin_frames_from_synthetic_population(df_synth_pop, margins)

Arguments

df_synth_pop

A synthetic population stored as a data.frame or data.table.

margins

List of variable names defining the requested margins.

Each list entry specifies the variables that will be aggregated together.

Value

A list of margin tables.

Details

This function is useful when multiple margin tables are required for:

• Validation.

• Iterative proportional fitting (IPF).

• Statistical reporting.

For each entry in margin_names, the function computes the corresponding marginal distribution and returns the collection as a named list.

This utility is commonly used when preparing inputs for IPF workflows and validating synthetic populations against known marginals.
