L1empiric: Calculate the area between two CDFs.

In CDF.PSIdekick: Evaluate Differentially Private Algorithms for Publishing Cumulative Distribution Functions

Description

Calculates the L1 (distance error) area between the non-private CDF and the dpCDF

Usage

L1empiric(Y, est, ...)

Arguments

Y	The vector output of a non-differentially private CDF computation (cumulative count bins)
est	The vector output of a differentially private CDF computation (cumulative count bins)
...	Optionally add additional parameters. This is primarily used to allow automated execution of varied diagnostic functions.

Value

The empirical L1 norm

Examples

L1empiric(c(.1,.2,.3,.4,.5,.6,.7,.8,.9,1), c(.1,.2,.3,.3,.3,.3,.3,.3,.4,1))

Example output

[1] 2
