synthACS: Spatial Microsimulation Modeling with Synthetic American Community Survey Data
synthACS is an R package that provides flexible tools for building synthetic micro-datasets based on American Community Survey (ACS) base tables, allows data-extensibility and enables to conduct spatial microsimulation modeling (SMSM) via simulated annealing. To our knowledge, it is the first R package to provide broadly applicable tools for SMSM with ACS data as well as the first SMSM implementation that uses unequal probability sampling in the simulated annealing algorithm. In this paper, we contextualize these developments within the SMSM literature, provide a hands-on user-guide to package synthACS , present a case study of SMSM related to population dynamics, and note areas for future research.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Statistical Software (JSS) publishes open-source software and corresponding reproducible articles discussing all aspects of the design, implementation, documentation, application, evaluation, comparison, maintainance and distribution of software dedicated to improvement of state-of-the-art in statistical computing in all areas of empirical research. Open-source code and articles are jointly reviewed and published in this journal and should be accessible to a broad community of practitioners, teachers, and researchers in the field of statistics.
