Generate synthetic time series from commonly used statistical models, including linear, nonlinear and chaotic systems. Applications to testing methods can be found in Jiang, Z., Sharma, A., & Johnson, F. (2019) <doi:10.1016/j.advwatres.2019.103430> and Jiang, Z., Sharma, A., & Johnson, F. (2020) <doi:10.1029/2019WR026962> associated with an open-source tool by Jiang, Z., Rashid, M. M., Johnson, F., & Sharma, A. (2020) <doi:10.1016/j.envsoft.2020.104907>.

A critical first step in systematic literature reviews
  and mining of academic texts is to identify relevant texts from a range
  of sources, particularly databases such as 'Web of Science' or 'Scopus'.
  These databases often export in different formats or with different metadata
  tags. 'synthesisr' expands on the tools outlined by Westgate (2019)
  <doi:10.1002/jrsm.1374> to import bibliographic data from a range of formats
  (such as 'bibtex', 'ris', or 'ciw') in a standard way, and allows merging
  and deduplication of the resulting dataset.

Synthesize numeric, categorical, mixed and time series data. Data 
    circumstances including mixed (or zero-inflated) distributions and missing
    data patterns are reproduced in the synthetic data. A single parameter allows
    balancing between high-quality synthetic data that represents correlations of
    the original data and lower quality but more privacy safe synthetic data
    without correlations. Tuning can be done per variable or for the whole
    dataset.

Creation of an individual claims simulator which generates various
    features of non-life insurance claims. An initial set of test parameters,
    designed to mirror the experience of an Auto Liability portfolio, were set
    up and applied by default to generate a realistic test data set of
    individual claims (see vignette). The simulated data set then allows
    practitioners to back-test the validity of various reserving models and to
    prove and/or disprove certain actuarial assumptions made in claims
    modelling. The distributional assumptions used to generate this data set can
    be easily modified by users to match their experiences. Reference: Avanzi B,

    simulator with feature control" <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2008.05693>.
