pydit.wrangling.anonymise

Module for anonymising a key/identifier column

It applies a randomly generated translation table of integers to the column.

This is a very simple anonymisation method and should be used with caution. It can be useful for relatively small datasets for one off anonymisation, for example for sharing with third party auditors or for testing purposes. It is not suitable for production use or for large datasets.

Functions
