Replication data for: "svy: A Python Package for Complex Survey Design and Analysis"

This record contains the dataset required to reproduce the results in Diallo, 2026, submitted to the Journal of Statistical Software. The accompanying code is available at https://github.com/MamadouSDiallo/svy-jss-replication.

## Contents

hld_pop_wb_2023.parquet (91.9 MB): A synthetic household-level dataset of 2,501,755 records representing the full population of households in an imaginary middle-income country, containing variables typical of population censuses and household surveys (dwelling characteristics, water and sanitation, asset ownership, household expenditure, and household composition), generated using REaLTabFormer for training and simulation purposes.

## Usage

The replication script replication.py in the code repository expects these files to be placed in a data/ directory at the project root. 

## Source and processing

This dataset is derived from synthetic survey data published by the World Bank Development Data Group: 

World Bank (2023a). Synthetic Data for an Imaginary Country, Full Population, 2023. https://doi.org/10.48529/78M1-AE09
