Spatial Microsimulation for Population Health

This project uses spatial microsimulation modelling to create synthetic datasets of various population health outcomes in Aotearoa New Zealand. These outcomes include well-being, mental health, health status, and healthcare costs for adults (aged 15+ years). It combines individual-level survey data with geographically aggregated area-level data to produce spatial datasets of a synthetic nationwide population based on linking variables, utilising iterative proportional fitting.
