A Data Generation Task is a generation task that requires the production of synthetic data records.
- AKA: Synthetic Random Data Generation.
- Context:
- It can be solved by a Data Generation System (that implements a data generation algorithm).
- It can require the simulation of a Data Generation Process.
- It can range from being a Numerical Data Generation Task to being a Categorical Data Generation Task to being a Hybrid Data Generation Task.
- …
- Example(s):
- a Random Number Generation Task.
- create an 5-dimensional Identity Matrix Data Structure.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- See: Data Masking, Simulation.

If I understand something, I can simulate it.
