Data and code availability

The authors are willing to share code with model builders (contact: cathal.odonoghue@nuigalway.ie). As a code written for the authors’ and project’s research purposes, it is not set up for generic matching, however it can and has been adapted for statistically matching other datasets. The considerable lag between when the AIM-AP project was funded and this publication made the code quite ‘aged’. However, we felt that it is useful for the microsimulation community for this work to be showcased, given the importance of the techniques in the field.
