FindAlpha

FindAlphaSimple

Function to find the largest alpha that makes equation 10 in the paper solvable.

Implementation of the methods described in the paper with the above title: Langsrud, Ø. (2019) <doi:10.1007/s11222-018-9848-9>. The package can be used to generate synthetic or hybrid continuous microdata, and the relationship to the original data can be controlled in several ways. A function for replacing suppressed tabular cell frequencies with decimal numbers is included.
