- **Conditional relationships**: Generate target variables given demographics
- **Zero-inflated distributions**: Handle variables that are 0 for many observations
- **Joint correlations**: Preserve relationships between target variables
- **Hierarchical structures**: Keep household/firm compositions intact
- **Multi-source fusion**: Combine variables from surveys with different variable sets
