DESCRIPTION:The National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service holds da
 ta on all diagnoses and treatments of cancer in England. The Simulacrum pr
 oject has created models for these datasets\, which have been used to gene
 rate synthetic data to allow researchers to explore individual-level cance
 r data without threatening the privacy of individual patients. \n\nYou wou
 ld use statistics and machine learning\, together with the data we hold\, 
 to look at questions like:\nWhat do these models tell us about cancer dire
 ctly?\nCan these models identify data quality problems with the underlying
  data?\nHow can we improve the modelling methodology? \nCan we be more dat
 a-driven while respecting privacy restrictions?\nWhat interesting question
 s might such models suggest people ask?\n
