Updated Docs Navigation
If you've used our docs before, you may notice some updates in the navigation structure. We've recently made these changes to streamline your experience and help you find the right resources faster.
Our previous docs inlcuded different sections based on the data modality. For example, all items related to single-table data were grouped together, as were multi-table, and sequential data modalities.
However as you may have noticed, all of the steps for synthetic data generation are the same regardless of whether you have single or multi-table data. (The steps are Data Preparation, Modeling, Sampling, and Evaluation.) This led to some redundancies, mismatches, and incomplete view of our SDV platform.
Meet the new docs site
Our new docs site integrates all the data modalities together and guides you through the synthetic data creation process step-by-step.
Data Integration walks you through importing your data into Python and creating metadata to describe it. Data and metadata are requirements for working with SDV.
Modeling walks you through creating a synthesizer and training it on your data. Browse through the different ML techniques offered with different synthesizers. Then, improve your synthesizer by adding constraints and custom preprocessing.
Sampling walks you through the process of creating synthetic data once the model training is complete. You can sample realistic data or use conditional sampling to sample fixed values. You can also export the synthetic data into a database or write it to a local file.
Evaluation walks you through evaluating your synthetic data. Get a basic diagnostic check, compare the statistical patterns between your real and synthetic data, and visualize it.
It's important to note that these steps are the same regardless of whether you are working with single-table, multi-table, or sequential data. We believe the consolidation of these steps speaks to the power of the SDV platform, which is capable of handling the complexities that arise from these different modalities.
