Abstract
A computer-implemented method for generating an artificial data set is provided. Aspects include obtaining an input data set, calculating an association between the plurality of categorical variables of the input data set, and creating, based on the association, a plurality of clusters of categorical variables. Aspects also include identifying a key variable for each of the plurality of clusters of categorical variables, creating a key cluster for each of the plurality of clusters, and creating a cluster contingency table for each of the clusters. Aspects further include generating, based on the cluster contingency table for each of the plurality of clusters and for the key cluster, a data set for each of the plurality of clusters and the key cluster and generating the artificial data set based on a combination of the data set for each of the plurality of clusters and the key cluster.
