Core Concepts
Utilizing copula theory enhances model transferability in synthetic population generation.
Abstract
The content introduces a framework combining copula theory with machine learning generative models for synthetic population generation. It focuses on model transferability, allowing insights from data-rich environments to be applied to contexts with limited data availability. The method involves normalizing the source population using empirical cumulative distribution functions (ECDFs) and leveraging generative models to learn the copula structure for accurate synthesis of populations.
