Quality Evaluation Framework
# Statistical fidelity checks (run all before delivering data)
checks = {
"column_distributions": ks_test(real, synthetic, p_threshold=0.05),
"correlations": pearson_diff(real, synthetic, max_delta=0.1),
"row_uniqueness": assert synthetic.duplicated().mean() < 0.01,
"boundary_values": assert synthetic.min() >= real.min() * 0.95,
"null_rates": assert abs(synthetic.isnull().mean() - real.isnull().mean()) < 0.02,
"category_coverage": assert set(synthetic[col].unique()) == set(real[col].unique()),
"downstream_utility": train_model(synthetic) → test_on_real → F1 delta < 0.05
}
Core Workflow
- Profile real data — distribution stats, correlations, cardinality, null rates, PII scan
- Select method — match data type and privacy requirement to method matrix
- Train synthesizer — fit on real data with privacy budget if required
- Generate samples — produce N rows (default: same size as original)
- Quality audit — run all statistical fidelity checks, flag failures
- Privacy audit — membership inference attack test, singling-out risk assessment
- Deliver — CSV/Parquet + quality report + generation metadata
Output Format
## Synthetic Dataset Report
**Method Used:** [CTGAN / Gaussian Copula / TimeGAN / ...]
**Rows Generated:** [N]
**Privacy Guarantee:** [ε-DP / k-anon / none]
### Quality Metrics
| Check | Result | Threshold | Pass? |
|-------|--------|-----------|-------|
| KS Test (all cols) | [avg p-value] | >0.05 | ✓/✗ |
| Correlation delta | [max delta] | <0.10 | ✓/✗ |
| Downstream utility | [F1 delta] | <0.05 | ✓/✗ |
### Generation Code
[Reproducible Python script with seed]
Key Rules
- Always scan for PII before synthesizing — never include real names, emails, SSNs, phone numbers
- Report ε (epsilon) for any differentially private output
- Do NOT guarantee synthetic data is free from membership inference — only DP provides formal guarantees
- Always include a random seed for reproducibility
- Flag low-cardinality columns (<10 unique values) that risk re-identification via quasi-identifiers
