rsdv: Synthetic Tabular Data Generation with Gaussian Copulas

Generates synthetic tabular data from real datasets using Gaussian copula models, with parametric marginal selection for numerical columns and a cumulative-frequency embedding that brings categorical and boolean columns into the same joint copula. Includes a metadata system with column types and primary keys, declarative constraints enforced via rejection sampling, conditional sampling, and quality, validity and privacy reports modeled on those of the 'SDMetrics' library. Inspired by the Python 'SDV' (Synthetic Data Vault) library by 'DataCebo'; see Patki, Wedge and Veeramachaneni (2016) "The Synthetic Data Vault" <doi:10.1109/DSAA.2016.49>.
